Ohio’s Labor Day Festival Weekend: August 28 – September 1, 2025

Celebrate Labor Day Weekend with a few of Ohio’s favourite festivals!

Welcome again, competition followers.

This week begins my favourite competition interval of the 12 months: late summer time and fall.

From now till mid-October, Ohio will likely be actually getting busy with festivals and I’m not solely speaking about Oktoberfests (take a look at the 2025 Oktoberfest Guide).

There will likely be apple, apple butter, apple cider, pawpaw, pumpkin, harvest, dragon boat, sauerkraut, skunk, lighthouse, canine, fish, shrimp, turtle, firefish, ingenuity, reenactment, artwork, cultural, music and lots of extra forms of festivals – all beginning with this weekend.
