This continues through the state listings. Indiana has festivals about tomatoes, Moon Pies, Bacon and BBQ. Illinois, for example, has Irish, Greek, Pakistani and Armenian festivals as well as food fests about ribs, garlic and corn. As you look at the other states, you can find some great eating opportunities there as well. I should also say that this culture and food festival emphasis isn’t limited to Ohio. I’m not sure if there will be pickle beer, though. With the 2020 event canceled due to Covid, and plenty of time to work out the kinks, this year’s event should go a lot smoother. It’s now in Brecksville this year and that may be a better location as the 2019 Cleveland event was overcrowded and a little of a nightmare (they ran out of pickle beer!). Pickle Fest should also be interesting this year. Also, I just want to get some real local garlic with flavor and aroma – unlike the sterilized Chinese garlic I’m usually picking up at Aldi’s (although those peeled and ready cloves in a bag are rather convenient). I, myself, am hoping to finally make my way to the Cleveland Garlic Festival this year as the idea of garlic ice cream and garlic french fries sounds really appealing. It definitely should be a good weekend of eating. Then there’s the food: the Cleveland Pickle Fest, the Marblehead Lions Club Perch Festival, Bacon Fest (Kettering), Columbus Fiery Food Festival and the Cleveland Garlic Festival. George’s Romanian Heritage Festival (Canton), the Asian Lantern Festival (Cleveland) and the Cleveland Donauschwaben Sommer Oktoberfest (Olmsted Township. In Ohio, for example, cultural festivals include the German-American Festival (Oregon), an Egyptian Festival (Seven Hills), a Lebanese Festival (Dayton), One World Day (Cleveland), St. It’s a weekend of eating and culture, festival fans!Īs I look over this weekend’s festivals, I am noticing a lot of cultural festivals and food-themed festivals.
