Its just not that big a deal…read more I'm going with 2 stars (per Yelp - I'v experienced better). I really have experienced better festivals. This event is supposed to be a community festival that showcases local business, but in the past several years the event just keeps getting more and more blah. There seems to be lots of canopies with vendors under them but its mostly roofing, siding, gutters, churches and other similar businesses. What I would like to see is more of the local businesses coming out to give back to the community by giving out coupons, samples etc. Maybe somebody who plans these events or is involved with these events will see this review and bring this to the right persons attention. There are bounce houses in the middle that are roped off and are only allowed by people with wrist bands. The bands cost $20, what?!? that's terrible. This event is not worth going to and I would recommend spending your time doing something else that is more fun. If I hear that the Festival has changed more to what a community festival should be then I will update my review.

This year was the 16th annual Powell Festival and it was the best I have been to in Ohio yet!…read moreIts right downtown Powell by the kids splash pad which is really nice and perfect for a hot summer day. They had so much to do for kids and adults alike. Foodwise I was a bit dissapointed but had eaten lunch before coming, so that was not a problem. The reason this gets 5 stars from me is that everything (expect for said food) was FREE! We actually left with 3 huge tote bags (also free) PACKED with free goodies! The festival is about local vendors/stores/shops/retailers promoting their businesses. So free toothbrushes/toothpastes from the dentists, free sunglasses from the optical stores, free snacks drinks and coupons from Giant Eagle, free facepainting, free videogame truck for the kids, free ice cream sundaes and coupons for free froyo from Cherry Berry, it went on and on, we spent hours just chatting with vendors and stocking up. Everyone was friendly and in good spirits, it was a great day and a festival I'll be back to for sure!

Excellent, fairly small but busy festival. Parking is tight- there's a lot across the street and…read morewe lucked into a spot, but many people were parking around the corner. Food was the draw for me, and there was plenty and a good variety. I ended up with a combo: steak kebab, macaroni bechamel (a sort of lasagna made with penne, bechamel, ground meat, and no tomato sauce,) a meat pie (ground beef in phyllo dough,) tabouli, hummus, etc. I asked for cabbage rolls, and I think they were extra. They were thinner than I'm used to but pretty much the same thing, filled with meat and rice. All this and a drink was $17, and I couldn't finish it (I came close.) There were lots of kids there, and kid activities, so Baby K was happy. She started dancing as soon as we got there, to the Egyptian music playing. There was a petting zoo and horse rides. There was face painting. She loved it all. We missed out on dessert, but it looked good: baklava and other pastries. We toured the church, also small but very nice. Everyone was very friendly. For a free community festival, it was great. Mostly church members, probably, but eager to show off their culture. I'll be back.

What's not to like. Fireworks, food, drinks and family. Oh, a concert with stuff for the kids. Wait…read morea minute, there is also fair food. I'm there. My man and I have been going for years. But would not have if it wasn't for his sister. She gets a spot each year. She goes early to mark her territory/spot. Usually there is another family there, but not this year. Also usually some friends of the kids also come, but alas no one else this year. There is a different act each year, we have seen some bands that I would not have been able to see in my youth. So I am thankful for that as well as my country, my health and my family. Peter Frampton was this year. We saw Little Richard a few years ago. Two years ago we took my mother, all the walking wasn't good for her. But she did have a good time watching the band and the fireworks. The only thing she had a problem with were the dogs. Go figure we had dogs my whole life and I didn't know my mom doesn't like dogs.

These were great for just small town fireworks. I headed over here with a friend on the 4th on a…read morewhim--we'd spent the day poolside and decided to check it out. I don't know a lot about fireworks, as I didn't grow in China nor am I a scientist/physicist type of person, but these looked good to me. Here's the trick: it's really crowded and there's no where to park. We got to the Dublin rec center just before they started and then stayed in the car in the air conditioning right next to a great viewing area. It was super hot this year--hottest 4th I can remember, so watching from the car worked out perfect. I wouldn't travel too far to see these, but if you are already close by they are worth it.

The show, set to a custom music track accessed on 87.9 FM, lasts for 7 minutes, and you can circle around as many times as you want during the open hours. It is free, with optional donation (donations go to Peace for Paws Ohio). We ended up looping around five times to fully enjoy checking out the various pieces - it's fun to see the dancing lights on the trees in the forest and all sorts of neat holiday and character elements. The kid was a big fan of the Baby Yoda by the stream in particular. The show runs from Black Friday through January 1. It is a one way loop due to the narrowness of the street - be sure to pay attention to the signage. A terrific option for checking out some holiday lights!

A few years ago it was such a fun event where there were numerous balloons and they actually launched. Food is ridiculously priced as well it seems like. I would suggest a different month to hold the event and maybe even a new location to actually host more balloonists. Also admission costs are a bit insane.
