Ravenna Balloon A-Fair

About

Running in its 47th year, Ravenna Balloon A-Fair celebrates the city's balloon-manufacturing heritage with a four-day September festival split between downtown Ravenna and the Portage County Fairgrounds. The event draws craft and food vendors to both locations — downtown during Saturday's 90-minute Grand Parade and the fairgrounds for Friday–Sunday programming featuring live music, hot air balloon launches and night glow, fireworks, inflatables, and a car show. This year's theme is Red, White & Balloons.
