Bowling Green

Bowling Green, located along the I-75 corridor in Northwestern Ohio, is full of character, places to visit, and opportunities for all. Bowling Green, a relatively new town, was officially designated as a city in 1901, despite being settled in 1832. When visiting Bowling Green, there are many places to visit, but the Art-a-Site is by far the only place that caters to everyone's needs. It's a hands-on art studio that not only lets you truly express yourself, but also hosts paint and pizza parties for kids and wine and canvas nights for adults.

Bowling Green was once rich in oil, so you should definitely go look at some houses. On Wooster Street, where some of the oldest and largest houses in the United States were built, you can still imagine the wealth. Bowling Green hosts the Wood County Fair every year, a week-long festival that begins shortly before or after the end of July. The fairgrounds are off Poe Road, between Haskins and Brim. Quilt day is another unique event. Discounted tickets are available on special days such as Senior Citizen Day and DARE Day.

Bowling Green, like other winter cities, hosts an annual three-day event in February to celebrate winter, snow, and cold weather activities. Bowling Green's Winterfest revolves around the town's rich ice skating and ice hockey traditions. Winterfest events are held throughout Bowling Green, as well as on and off the Bowling Green State University campus. Curling, carriage rides, ice sculptures, and live entertainment are among the notable events, as are BGSU athletic events such as hockey and basketball games, as well as figure skating exhibitions with local stars such as Scott Hamilton.
