Old west Festival

The Old West Festival is entering its 7th year this fall and draws more than 20,000 visitors every year to its permanent site located just 15 minutes from I-275, east of Cincinnati.  If you’ve ever imagined yourself to be an Old West outlaw, frontier lawman or saloon girl then this is the place to live out that fantasy!   Period music, medicine and saloon shows, can-can dancers, gunfights, jailbreaks, and so much more. You’ll truly feel as if you’ve stepped back in time to the Dodge City of the Old Wild West!

I wanted to try this out last year, but it didn’t work out. I am SO excited to go this year. I think the boys will LOVE it!! We enjoy exploring our city and this will be something truly unusual and a new experience for us all!
