Ohio Summerfest Debuts at Stranahan
Theater
10 Days of Rides, Games, Shows, and Fair Food Favorites

TOLEDO, OH (May 2026) — The Ohio Summerfest makes its debut in the parking areas of the Stranahan Theater June 5–14, bringing the rides, games, food, and attractions you’d expect from the biggest and best fair events. From opening night through closing day, the lot will be packed with more than 30 state fair–style amusement rides for all ages — heart-pounding thrills, classic family favorites, and a full Kiddieland for the little ones. Fair goers can experience North America's tallest portable drop tower, the towering Mega Drop which rises 135' above the midway!
Every admission also includes FREE shows and entertainment, 10 acres of carnival games and colorful prize booths, and a midway full of fair food favorites — a recipe for memories that will last all summer long. Don’t miss the Banana Derby, featuring monkeys riding dogs, and Goat Island, both free with admission.
“Wade Shows has been providing carnival midways across America for many decades and presents the midways at more state fairs than any other family-owned traveling amusement company in history. We are very proud to bring them here to the Ohio
Summerfest,” said event promoter Joe Nieporte.
