Fall into Avon

For over two decades residents of Avon and northern Ohio have celebrated the start of the Fall Season with its annual “Fall Festival” (aka “Country Living Festival”).  Antique Dealers from the region descend on Avon to display and sell their treasures.  Local merchants feature fall décor for the home and seasonal fashions for men, women and children.  Attendees are able to take advantage of fabulous deals at sidewalk sales and in-store specials.  Avon restaurants offer gourmet specials, guaranteed to tempt any palate. 

At “The Taste of Avon festival attendees can sample delicious tidbits from local restaurants, while enjoying exhibits by local artists, and listening to sounds of local bands.

The Kid's Pavilion offers fun for kid's 0 to 8.  Face Painting, crafts, games, ID/Figerprinting, live entertainment & prizes are just part of the child friendly activities.
