The Ohio Hills Folk Festival, in Quaker City, Ohio, is considered the
longest-running in Ohio. Its roots were planted in 1871, when a fair was started. After the fair\u2019s demise, the event returned in 1904 and was called \u201cFall Entertainment,\u201d then later \u201cHomecoming.\u201d It has continued ever since. 2025 will be our 121th year. It is held the 2nd week in July and has been entertaining the area population since the start. The Festival is very much alive today with many events for children and adults. These include games, arts and crafts, bike races, kiddie tractor pull, carnival rides, all kinds of food vendors, a Veterans and Senior Citizen breakfast, flea market, kiddie parade, the famous Philip Carpenter Memorial Mile Long Parade on Friday and a Saturday Queen\u2019s parade that draws Queens from festivals all over Ohio. You can also enjoy homemade ice cream at the Country Store, pie and cake baking contest, craft hall, quilt show, and art show. There will be tons of live music from two different stages. A frog jumping contest, rubber duck regatta AND the best fireworks show in Southeastern Ohio. The Ohio Hills Folk Festival is a 501 c3 non profit, a member of the OFEA and is 100% volunteer personnel.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
