This year was very crowded but was a nice time. Lots to see and do if you can endure the awful lines and crowds. The performers and vendors were fantastic as always.

A great way to spend the day with family! $23 for admission but there are tons of shows and activities to keep you busy for the day. Lots of different food options available as well as beer. Parking is $3 so be sure to bring some cash.

Such a fun place and lots to do and see. I definitely recommend bringing plenty of cash for food and parking and for the games. Great food and always love watching the joust. Get there early to avoid crowds and traffic!

Most of the shows are usually the same. Some of the smaller shows may change however. Each weekend is generally a different theme however its usually the same themes each year.
What? And what manner of metal and beast would this be to intrude upon our fair land? It would be a sin to allow such unholy creature to tread upon our noble grounds, and so any matter of metallic abomination wilst be unable to past our guards for passage into the faire.
They are doing a limited opening this year, with the next and last day being on October 10th. However, last I checked they were sold out.
Is the park open to freely walk around when the festival is closed/cancelled?

Yes they are and 1572 BBQ is amazing!
If it open this yr 2020. And have to wear masks?
Johnnie Padgett | Jan 4, 2021

If you are asking if you have to wear a mask, either a: it will be optional, or b: they won't let you in without one. I imagine this will be released on a website or Facebook page.
Bathrooms are actually pretty clean. No changing table or anything but a way upgraded version of a porta potty. My wife's picky about that and she was fine with it
I would advise bringing cash just in case. You will definitely need it for parking ($3), and some vendors offer better prices if you pay with cash. There is an ATM right inside the gates, though!
People generally gather at the gates before they open. Buy your tickets ahead of time or online for better pricing. Many people dress up. You don't have to. They have maps on site and are good at passing them around. Definitely hit up the jousting and at least a couple shows. Lots of shopping to be had, but I would suggest making the rounds of all the shops and getting a sense of pricing before stopping into any particular place. You're going to have tons of fun! Enjoy!
Tickets are $23 for adults, and $9.50 for kids at the gate. Parking is also $3. If you go online tickets are $19 for adults. Also Time Travelers weekend the cost for tickets at the gate will be $15.72. That weekend is Sept 7-8, 2019. The weekend of Sept 28-29, 2 adult tickets are $30 and kids tickets are 2 for $10. The last weekend of faire, October 26-27, kids 12 and under get in free for Tricks and Treats weekend.
I generally stay in springboro for chain hotels. There's a Hampton Inn that's about 25-30 mins from the festival grounds. There are some B&B's closer though. Haven't tried them.
When is opening weekend? I heard it is but one get one free. Is that at the gate?

Hark! Doth thine brow falter due to a fair precipitation? T'would be dishonorable to close thine faire grounds for as to call God's blessing a burden, and so to keep the land open to all is how it shall stay.
Is there any place one can plug in an oxygen concentrator on the grounds to recharge? Relying on batteries only would severely limit our stay. It would be nice to be able to plug in and recharge while watching a show.

Melody Parish | Jan 6, 2018
I don't know what kind of plug you require, but there are so many shops around with electricity i would think you could find one. I would call if you can and ask ahead since this is a pretty specific request.
Yes it is. Almost every shop has a ramp for wheelchair and stroller access and all food and stage seating areas are accessible. There is an incline but it's not too steep
