Soberfest: Festival dedicated to sobriety coming to Franklin County Fairgrounds

Soberfest Ohio is just one month away.

The festival, which is dedicated to sober fun, will be held Aug. 31 from 11 a.m.-10 p.m. It will be held at the Franklin County Fairgrounds (not the Ohio Expo Center & State Fair), which is located at 4951 Northwest Pkwy. in Hilliard.

The event’s goal is to “show the newcomer, or those early in sobriety, you can still enjoy live music and have a great time while sober.”
