See knights and ladies. Every fall, Warren County hosts the Ohio Renaissance Festival where valiant 16th century knights compete in the joust and swordsmen engage in hand-to-hand combat throughout the 30-acre village. Get a lesson in traditional crafts like glassblowing and blacksmithing, and stroll the grounds feasting on juicy roasted turkey legs.
Share all things apple. Late September is Country Applefest time. This annual festival in historic Lebanon shows off the town’s good taste with savory apple pie, apple butter and delicious caramel apples; side-by-side with craft booths and farmers market items.
Make a German connection. 
Every October, Waynesville hosts the Ohio Sauerkraut Festival. This “tasteful” festival celebrates German-inspired cuisine, serving seven tons of sauerkraut to scores of visitors. This one-of-a-kind festival also is one of the largest arts & crafts shows in the country with more than 400 vendors.
Enjoy Halloween haunts and thrills. Thrill seekers delight in the annual Halloween Haunt at Kings Island. With blood-thirsty monsters, highly-intense attractions including chain-link mazes, frightening wooded trails and some of the most hair-raising rides on the planet, it’s the biggest scare-a-thon in the Midwest!
