There was a couple of popcorn vendors, not as much as i imagined, yet was still a great experience! I'm disabled, so i was glad to see that they had handicapped accessible porta pottys. It was definitely hard to get up some of the hills, but I enjoyed it so much. We will definitely be back next year!

I also was disappointed in the amount of popcorn available at the festival, especially would love…read moreto see more raw popcorn kernels offered, but a very nice festival overall with plenty to do and well laid out. I would like to visit again, and hoping to find more popcorn at this popcorn festival.

Such a fun little festival even if it does always rain!…read more Great food. Great for the family. Lots of local restaurants and businesses come out for this one. They have something for just about everyone. Great festival to take the kids to as well!

I love festivals! There is something that makes me so proud of Ohio's agricultural heritage when I…read morewalk around these small town festivals. It's almost like I've stepped back into a Norman Rockwell painting where everyone knew their neighbors and there was a great sense of community. The Sugar Maple Festival occurs each spring, this year April 16-18. For a small town, the Sugar Maple Festival is a good sized festival. Because of this, parking is limited. We didn't see any dedicated parking so we parked at a market a few blocks back and walked the short walk over. It looks like the festival is divided into 3 sections. One street had all food (try the hot dogs at the fire department booth. Especially if you like spicy!), the park where there are children's activities and live music, and the craft booths and vendors. I wasn't too impressed with the vendors. Most of them were not local and there were even booths selling knock off designer purses! Next to the police department building! The fire department was giving a demonstration on how they respond to accidents, using the jaws of life to take the top off of a car. It was pretty interesting to watch and hear the narrator talk about what the responders do in a situation like that and what they are looking to do to make sure they save lives. It was a good time and I'd definitely love to go back and see the parade next year. And best of all, admission is free!

Buongiorno Italian…read morefall 2025 Festival My 100% Italian Wife has instructed me to provide sunny weather for the Festival, which is arguably the nicest festival in the Greater Dayton Metropolitan Area. A weekend of wonderful Italian music, delicious Italian food, good friends, and lots of great Italian food. And of course, a large TV for the Ohio State game. Caveat: we always take our own flatware to avoid the inexpensive plastic ware provided. The John Pirelli Lodge of OSIA is located at Bella Villa Hall on County Line Road in Dayton OH, and we have been attending for 50+ years. I have never understood that many folks seek out pizza at the Italian Festival. There are at least 100 plus pizza joints in the Greater Dayton Metropolitan Area which offer much better pizza. There is real Italian food here - just ask all of the Italians in the food booths. I have also never understood why this festival cannot provide great Italian Pepperoni Rolls. Has no one taken the famous WV Italian Pepperoni Roll Trail (which is now extended to Davis, WV?) I always pass on Baked Italian Pasta unless it is lasagna. I have observed my dear wife making homemade lasagna, and we both comprehend the reasons that the festival cannot provide lasagna. Today it is (baked) Italian Shells plus Spicy Italian sausage and loads of other Italian goodies. As expected the shells are much overcooked and the Spicy Italian sausage is perfect. One of the very best festival offerings is the Spicy Italian sausage, which is arguably superior to any sausage offered at the Dayton Art Institute October Fest. My dear wife implores us to arrive by noon; she can easily make several laps around the grounds and scope out the many Italian Delights including 50 homemade Italian cookies and of course, the gelato. We have friends and family who delay their arrival until 6:00 PM, and we perceive controlled chaos during evening hours. Of course, we tend to enjoy arrival at the many Dayton and Ohio festivals. Great that the Italian Festive is very family friendly from newborns to folks in their nineties.

Food was bad this year. The pizza crust was not the same, it use to be crispy crust this year 2025…read morewas just flat dough, the crust is what the pizza so delicious. Also my family had several issues with the other food. Be careful who you get to make your food, food poison is not funny!! The cookies are way over priced to be as bad as they were.

This is a nice but misnamed event. To me a better name might be Fairborn Beer Garden And Food…read moreTruck with some Bluegrass Gathering. To me in order to be a true Bluegrass Festival they need to make it a 2 to 3 day event and have some local vendors I'd suggest about 2 local music shops one of which sells high end instruments and another that sells high qualit lower priced instruments. I'd also suggest 2 to 4 local jewelry vendors that sell different types of jewelry that wouldn't compete with each other. I liked the Food Truck selection. Wholly Smokes is my favorite . I'd appreciate the opportunity to buy Festival T Shirts. I got a couple but several years I couldn't find one or they weren't available. One might ask what makes me an expert on Bluegrass Festivals. That's a fair question that deserves to be addressed. I was the Vendor Coordinator with Summergrass Bluegrass Festival for years. I did my job in good times and bad. While happily married, while grieving the loss of my wife , while going through a several relationships, I always did the best possible job I could while learning to do it. This event does bring some great Bluegrass to Fairborn. As I look into the crowd I see faces I've seen for years. It is an event I look forward to every year that has a lot of potential to be Ohios primeere Bluegrass Festival.

I've been to the Millersport Sweet Corn Festival a couple of times. Frankly, I enjoyed this one…read moremore. It seems smaller, but there were many good food vendors. Also other vendors and events. It is very kid-friendly, and dog-friendly. We were there for the corn, but mainly for the amazing corn dogs from Bite Me, a "gourmet" corn dog tent. Someone talked me into entering the corn eating contest. It was a weird, team event with several heats, so there really weren't any winners (or we were all winners, right?) The corn was good, the competitors were friendly, it was well-organized, and I had fun. Afterward we had a couple of corn dogs, including Sweetie's first-ever. A few sweet treats, a little wandering amongst the crowds, and we were off.

I was a little disappointed. I was surprised that only one booth was selling cooked corn. The booth…read morethat was selling fresh corn had it priced a bit high. I agree with supporting local businesses but the price was almost double what you would pay elsewhere. There was a nice selection of food. Everything from pork chops to BBQ and the regular carnival type fare. There were quite a few vendors. Tutus seemed to be the theme this year. Overall, it was a little disappointing. We may or may not be back next year.

Trying samples of the ice cream and cheese is a must before deciding what to buy. The gift shop is so nice and there are a lot of items to buy as gifts. We had dinner at Young's. The Rueben sandwich was good. The cheese curds were to die for! The service was very fast and efficient. The carousel was so much fun! It was like I was 5 years old again! I loved Jennifer the goat. I loved that the horses were painted as different flavors of ice cream. I am looking forward to coming back for Fall festivities and a future event.

Ice cream, cheesy goodness and other treats? Wow. Staff was super friendly as were the animals. Super clean, the service was fast and the ice cream and sandwich were fantastic. I got fresh curds and baked curds to go. As a Wisconsinite, the baked curds are out of this world good. Bring quarters to feed the super cute goat gang!!!
