Special Update for the Ashtabula County Covered Bridge Festival Fans
The Ashtabula County Health Department Health Commissioner has determined that other than the county fairs which have been given clearance by the state to continue, social gatherings like festivals, concerts, etc. of more than 10 people are still prohibited per the state’s orders. Based on the Health Department's orders we are sad to announce that we will NOT be able to have the Covered Bridge Festival this year. We will be looking forward to seeing you all on October 9-10, 2021. For the most updated information please visit our Facebook page.
