Black Walnut Festival

We had a fantastic Festival in 2023 and we're looking forward to the 36th "world famous" CAMDEN BLACK WALNUT FESTIVAL to be held on Saturday and Sunday, October 19-20, 2024. Always held the third weekend in October, the Black Walnut Festival is one of the best festivals in the entire SW OHIO area with more than 135 vendors and averaging 8,000-10,000 attendees per day. It's everything you like in a Festival and more.
At the Black Walnut Festival, you will enjoy all...

-135 Vendors!
-Handmade and artisan crafts, fall produce, antiques and collectibles
