The suburb I live in has an annual Onion Festival (why onions? I have NO idea! )

How'd you like to be known as the Onion Queen?

 

[Mermaid02]

The National Folk Festival, for the next two years anyway!

LOL Steve...that may beat Canal Queen!

Lewiston, NY has the Peach Festival.
I think Peach Queen would be a sweet title, hehe


I forgot to mention that Niagara Falls used to have a cool Festival of Lights every winter, but they did away with it a few years ago.

 

[Steve H.]

There's no Festival of Lights anymore at Niagara?? Bummer, I've been to it and it was cool!!

 

[Towncrier]

Hmm. How about the Yankee Peddler Festival?

I don't think that I can even begin to list all the festivals that happen in and around Ohio. It seems like every village has something going on at one time or another throughout the year.

 

[Wishydoo]

It was awesome Steve, but I guess it was too expensive for the city to handle.

I agree with Towncrier... Ohio has a TON of festivals all over. Infact my grandfather has a booth at some festival or another every weekend starting this week up until Oct. He makes photo pins. We've been doing it since the 80's.

South Carolina Peach Festival every July.

Coming up over Memorial Day weekend my town has the Old Fashioned Ice Cream Festival. Also during the same weekend there is the Moonshine Festival in Southern Ohio.

There are around 40 festivals in the state of Ohio and I've been to many of them. Once upon a time I was one of the queens for the Ice Cream festival and we traveled around the state to the different festivals promoting our area. I even have the crown to prove it. LOL
