about us


We provide opportunities to exchange information and ideas with other festivals/event representatives and act as a clearinghouse for solutions to the common problems encountered in the festival & event business. Many of the same problems exist for both small and large festivals, and the same solutions can be adapted to the individual festival's size. The experience of festival members represent many years of mistakes and accomplishments.

Our Purpose:

  1. To promote Tourism in Ohio through Festivals and Events.
  2. To promote membership festivals and events collectively on a statewide effort.
  3. To exchange ideas among members with respect to festival and event operations.
  4. To increase the communication process by providing cooperation and supportive effort between various festivals and events.
  5. To provide education to the public and private sources regarding festivals and events in Ohio.
  6. To give, teach, and exchange information and knowledge of operational vehicles required to be a successful festival or event in the State of Ohio.

What Ohio Festivals & Events Association Offers to Members:

  1. Source of many years of experience and expertise in the operation of festivals and events.
  2. Source of vendors, craftsmen, concessionaires, amusement companies, and much, much more vital information.
  3. Thousands of brochures distributed annually throughout the State of Ohio promoting these events.
  4. Great fellowship with member festivals and events that all work for common goal, crossing ethnic, cultural, religious and color barriers which best represent the festival and event industry.
