Get ready for days of live music, more than 300 vendors and 30 different types of food, because the Thornville Backwoods Fest is back.

The festival, which officially begins today and will run until Sept. 19, is located at 8572 High Point Rd. in Thornville.

The event, now in its 27th year, is held only 40 miles from Downtown Columbus, but takes place on a massive wooded plot of land that can feel entirely removed from civilization at times.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY

Visitors can cruise the more than 300 arts and crafts vendors on site or grab a bite to eat from stands selling indulgent pickle, gourmet fudge and more. Between food and arts sellers, there are more than 450 official vendors on site, so you’ll likely need to consult this year’s grounds map to navigate everything.

Tickets can be purchased here. They can also be purchased on-site, but only cash is accepted for day of sales.
