Dates & Information On Activities From Jousting to The Sauerkraut Festival To Halloween & Haunted Houses
In Warren County there are several events taking place. It all starts on Labor Day Weekend and involves a renaissance festival, a Halloween celebration at a popular theme park and many more interesting festivities.
The Ohio Renaissance Festival runs weekends and Labor Day between Sept. 4-Oct. 31. The festival will celebrate its 31st year this fall with attractions, shows and vendors, including the new “Royal Feast” (a five-course dining experience) and a new 13-stop “Ale Trail.” Billed as a “non-stop, day-long adventure,” the festival was recently ranked among the nation’s top Renaissance events by the Travel Channel.
In Waynesville, the 51st annual Ohio Sauerkraut Festival (Oct. 9-10) features more than seven tons of sauerkraut creations, live entertainment and hundreds of craft vendors from all across the nation.
Also in Waynesville, the Waynesville Fall Fest will run Saturdays and Sundays Sept. 18-Oct. 31 and offer mini golf, mazes, a petting farm, human foosball and a not-so-spooky walking trail.
Lebanon’s Feast & Fall-y (Sept. 25) and Country AppleFest (Sept. 25-26) will also rank among the region’s most popular food and craft gatherings this autumn.
