According to OhioFestival.net, Hamilton County’s own New Earth Festival in Atlanta was not only in the top 10 festivals of 2018, it was number three overall.
The site’s organizer noted that Atlanta was in the top 10 list because, “The entire town is devoted to this festival. Let me say that again – The. Entire. TOWN!”
Of the more than 500 festivals reviewed, the New Earth Festival was hailed as one of the best in the region comprising Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, western Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
The OhioFestival.net review reads in part, “There are over 600 vendors spread around the town of Atlanta, offering a huge variety of items. As one would expect, there are also various food vendors, activities for the kids, and music entertainment. There’s even a real train that comes into the town (in the midst of the festival) and offers rides.”
That train is the Nickel Plate Express, which offered excursions at the 2018 Atlanta New Earth Festival.
