The four-day event, nicknamed “the biggest little fair in Ohio,” began in 1860 and is a long-standing community tradition on Cincinnati’s West Side. This 162-year history also serves as the theme of this year’s event, “The Tradition Lives On.”
The 2022 Harvest Home Fair will include traditional elements, such as rides, games, live music, hobby competitions, art shows, flower shows, 4-H animal exhibits and a parade (on Thursday), as well as new additions, such as the artisan market.
