First day is usually very hot humid and often muddy but today was ideal so we thought we would go…read more It's around 40 a person plus all your snacks. Parking is in grassy field so consider muddy days. Take real note to where u park so have prayer of finding your car. We were there when they opened and still didnt see all the shows before they closed. My fav is theater in the mud/ground. Name has changed to ground so must have been so copy write issues. Bring cash for tipping... they make it clear that is expected so bring cash. If u go to mud show ...you might get muddy. This is great place to people watch ... that's all I'm saying about that . This isn't something id go to regularly but we have been 3-4 times many years ago. It's really not changed much over the years but entertaining.

Perfect location for Ohio Ren Fair -- Lots to enjoy…read more.. Travel Tip: Highway may backup for 30 to 60 minutes at entrance. Management has not figured traffic control after all of these years Lots and lots of food choices. Excellent family adventures. Caveat: Comfortable dining, and we view this as a plus - sweaters, jacket, and sweatshirts are welcome. Several reviews refer to dry meats, and we suggest an early arrival to prevent this malady. Take care with the wee ones - lots of walking and family friendly events. Neat experience...Would we return? All in all - in a few years.

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!

My first visit to the Lebanon Blues Festival was during the 20th annual of the event…read more When I arrived in Lebanon I was able to find easy parking in the historic downtown parking lots though they were near full and many of the streets were packed with cars as well. Given it's a Blues Fest, the first thing I saw was an antique car show and competition. This leads me to mention that this event as expanded well beyond a Blues festival. This is a city block party. Food vendors, food trucks, craft merchants, car shows and lastly the beer garden with live bands. During the 2018 event everything expanded across four streets. The area that served beer was somewhat fenced in along a grassy area with natural shade and the center stage. After entering the beer garden they planned for capacity by having separate tents to check for ID, purchase tickets for alcohol and lastly serve beer. I was able to listen to a couple bands during my visit. I really enjoyed The Sean Carney Band. The City of Lebanon and Lebanon Optimist club really did a bang up job.

There's pluses and minuses to this place. One of the…read morebiggest minuses I've experienced in my visits is me constantly going "does anyone work here??" Want to purchase from the gift shop? Not an employee in sight. The food and bar always seem to be closed. Can't even find where to purchase their famous doughnuts. They built the huge play area for children which is great! But please don't advertise all your food and drink options if it's never going to be open or an employee around to check you out. Nothing like your toddler melting down because they want a juice and you can't find a way to pay for it. I love the baby animals and all the kids activities but until they figure out how to properly run this place I probably won't come back.

We saw the masses of people slowly increase when we realized we were driving through the heart of a festival! Actual Impression (*****): The idea of letting traffic pass through made sense... and is really cool! We would have stopped if parking sections were clearer! We saw a spray painted $4.00 parking sign and didn't trust it. The food looked great - I wish I could have had bourbon chicken delivered to my car window!
