Mum Fest Was A Success!

Originating as our city’s anniversary celebration in 1987, Barberton’s Mum Festival has become our favorite end of summer celebration! This year, we had 12,600 mums designed for a patriotic Red, White & Bloom theme. Thank you to everyone who volunteered and attended to make our Mum Festival Weekend so special!

Mum Fest 2022 was celebrated on Saturday, September 24 and Sunday, September 25 and featured not only a spectacular mum garden, but also local vendors and entertainment! Didn’t make it this year? Check out an aerial video of the beautiful Red, White & Bloom mum garden below, courtesy of Buckeye Drone, then stay tuned for details about Mum Fest 2023!
