Sugar Maple Festival

Sugar Maple Festival

(2 reviews)

Such a fun little festival even if it does always rain!…read more Great food. Great for the family. Lots of local restaurants and businesses come out for this one. They have something for just about everyone. Great festival to take the kids to as well!

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!

Italian Fall Festival

Buongiorno Italian…read morefall 2025 Festival My 100% Italian Wife has instructed me to provide sunny weather for the Festival, which is arguably the nicest festival in the Greater Dayton Metropolitan Area. A weekend of wonderful Italian music, delicious Italian food, good friends, and lots of great Italian food. And of course, a large TV for the Ohio State game. Caveat: we always take our own flatware to avoid the inexpensive plastic ware provided. The John Pirelli Lodge of OSIA is located at Bella Villa Hall on County Line Road in Dayton OH, and we have been attending for 50+ years. I have never understood that many folks seek out pizza at the Italian Festival. There are at least 100 plus pizza joints in the Greater Dayton Metropolitan Area which offer much better pizza. There is real Italian food here - just ask all of the Italians in the food booths. I have also never understood why this festival cannot provide great Italian Pepperoni Rolls. Has no one taken the famous WV Italian Pepperoni Roll Trail (which is now extended to Davis, WV?) I always pass on Baked Italian Pasta unless it is lasagna. I have observed my dear wife making homemade lasagna, and we both comprehend the reasons that the festival cannot provide lasagna. Today it is (baked) Italian Shells plus Spicy Italian sausage and loads of other Italian goodies. As expected the shells are much overcooked and the Spicy Italian sausage is perfect. One of the very best festival offerings is the Spicy Italian sausage, which is arguably superior to any sausage offered at the Dayton Art Institute October Fest. My dear wife implores us to arrive by noon; she can easily make several laps around the grounds and scope out the many Italian Delights including 50 homemade Italian cookies and of course, the gelato. We have friends and family who delay their arrival until 6:00 PM, and we perceive controlled chaos during evening hours. Of course, we tend to enjoy arrival at the many Dayton and Ohio festivals. Great that the Italian Festive is very family friendly from newborns to folks in their nineties.

Food was bad this year. The pizza crust was not the same, it use to be crispy crust this year 2025…read morewas just flat dough, the crust is what the pizza so delicious. Also my family had several issues with the other food. Be careful who you get to make your food, food poison is not funny!! The cookies are way over priced to be as bad as they were.
