Old West Festival
Spectacular scenes like those of John Wayne and James Stewart movies will be retold in live action this September as the Old West Festival – a one-of-a-kind event in Ohio – rolls back into town at its permanent site just 15 minutes from I-275, east of Cincinnati. The second annual Old West Festival – running weekends September 11 to October 10 – will transform rambling acreage of beautiful country into an authentic Dodge City Wild West town dating back to 1878.
Festival times and hours are Saturdays and Sundays running September 11 to October 10 from 10 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. The Festival is located at 1449 Greenbush Cobb Rd, Williamsburg Ohio, 45176 between Mt. Orab and Williamsburg, Ohio just off St. Rt. 32.
Cost is $10 general admission; $6 for children ages 6 to 12; and children under 5 are free.
Just like in the REAL Dodge City...The Carrying of Firearms is strictly prohibited. But don't let that keep you from coming dressed to impress. Come in your best period attire. We have a patron "costume" contest each day in the Long Branch Saloon at 1pm.
