One of the biggest parties of the year at Buckeye Lake is returning for 2026. On January 31st before the sun rises attendees can watch to see if Benny the Bass 'takes the bait' and predicts an early spring or refuses, which means six more weeks of winter!
Regardless of Benny's prediction, all are invited to celebrate Winterfest with fireworks, activities around the lake, live music, art shows, food and rink specials, food trucks, and more!
Winterfest is held annually on the last Saturday in January. For more information on the event visit their website here.
