Miami Township's annual Harvest Festival and Community Bonfire returns to Community Park on Buckwheat Road on Saturday, Oct. 17, 2026, with free admission and a lineup that runs from 5 to 9 p.m.
The Milford-area event centers on a community bonfire starting at 6 p.m., with live music from the band Counting Skeletons. Outside, families can hop on hayrides, walk a trick-or-treat trail and visit a pumpkin patch where Neltner's Farm is giving one free pumpkin per child while supplies last.
Cincinnati Circus Company will perform. Secret Squirrel Wildlife Rehabilitation is bringing a wildlife display, and Let's Glow Crazy will have glow items for sale.
Inside the historic Leming House, built around 1840, kids can get face painting, balloon creations and harvest crafts. The Leming House closes at 8 p.m., according to the township's events page. Clermont County Public Library staff will hold a story time session during the festival.
Five food and drink vendors will be on site: D's Concessions, Old Man and a Grill, Squeezy Fresh, Kona Ice of East Cincinnati and Travelin' Tom's Coffee. The Milford Miami Township Chamber of Commerce will sell adult beverages.
The township said local businesses, schools, churches, civic groups and the Miami Township fire, police, service and recreation departments all support the event, the Clermont Guardian reported. A Step Above Flooring & Installation is the presenting sponsor.
