Discover Your Next Adventure at the Second Annual NEO Adventure Fest
Ready to explore the hidden gems and vibrant outdoor culture of Northeast Ohio? The NEO Adventure Fest is more than just a festival—it's a movement to inspire innovation, inclusivity, and accessibility in the region's outdoor industry.

Event Details:

• Date & Time: May 16, 2026 | 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM

• Location: Downtown Cuyahoga Falls Pavilion and Amphitheater (2085 Front St, Cuyahoga Falls, OH)

• Cost: Free to the public!

What to Expect:

• 50+ Outdoor Exhibitors: Connect with industry leaders, local businesses, adventure clubs, and environmental organizations to learn about hiking, paddling, rock climbing, and more.

• Skill Sessions & Hands-on Activities: Participate in expert-led sessions to learn new skills like fly fishing casting or kayaking basics.

• Live Entertainment: Relax at the amphitheater with live music and guest speakers sharing exciting stories and outdoor insights.

• Kid Zone: Fun, family-friendly activities designed to get even the youngest adventurers excited about the outdoors.

• Food & Drink Trucks: A variety of local food and drink vendors will be on-site to keep you fueled throughout the day.

Adventure with a Purpose: The fest also serves as a fundraiser to improve outdoor access for everyone. Following the success of the 2025 event—which raised funds for an all-terrain "GRIT Freedom Chair" to share with the community—the 2026 fest will continue to advocate for a more accessible outdoor experience in Ohio.

Whether you're looking to meet new hiking partners, shop for gear, or simply enjoy a day at the riverfront, the NEO Adventure Fest has something for every body. See you in the Falls!
