Celebrate Community at the Black Walnut
Festival in Camden, Ohio
Every fall, Camden comes alive with one of our most beloved traditions — the Black Walnut
Festival. This annual celebration brings neighbors, friends, and visitors together for a weekend
full of family fun, local pride, and small-town charm.
From its beginnings, the festival has highlighted the best of our community — delicious food,
local vendors, crafts, live music, and activities for all ages. Whether you’ve lived in Camden your
whole life or you’re visiting for the first time, the Black Walnut Festival is the perfect way to
experience what makes our town special.
Family-Friendly Fun for All Ages
One of the festival’s biggest draws is its family atmosphere. Kids can enjoy carnival rides,
games, and activities just for them, while adults can browse the wide variety of artisan booths,
sample homemade treats, or take in live entertainment on the main stage. The parade is always
a highlight, showcasing local schools, community groups, and businesses.
Supporting Local Vendors and Traditions
The festival wouldn’t be complete without rows of food stands and vendor booths featuring
everything from handcrafted goods to traditional festival favorites. By attending, you’re helping
support local artisans, small businesses, and community organizations who make Camden
strong.
