Fall Fest at Slate Run Metro Park

Fall Fest lands at Slate Run Metro Park’s Buzzards Roost Picnic Area (1375 St. Rte. 674 North, Canal Winchester) on Saturday, October 10, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Metro Parks stacks local vendors, food trucks, and free family stations into a single midday window—no ticket booth, no timed entry.

The park’s farm and trail system sit right beside the picnic grounds, so you can peel off for a short walk between cider sips. It reads as a Canal Winchester backyard gathering more than a downtown street festival, which is the point for families who want leaves underfoot instead of asphalt.

Arrive closer to 11 if you want easier parking at Buzzards Roost; the mid-afternoon slot fills once sports practices end across the south-eastern suburbs.
