Bob Evans Farm Festival

About

Running since 1971, the Bob Evans Farm Festival draws over 25,000 visitors during its October harvest-season run in Rio Grande. Held on the 1,000-acre original Bob Evans farm, the 53rd annual event showcases artisans in crafts, specialty foods, and regional products alongside chainsaw carving, lumberjack competitions, and Saturday-night fireworks. Vendors mix local producers—baskets, blown glass, cheeses, gourds, weaving—with food: Appalachian condiments, craft cocktail mixes, apple products. Heavy foot traffic and established rural-tourism crowd.
