The Summer Fun on the Farm festival at Bonnybrook Farms includes a 5K, live music, BBQ, and fun for the entire family. Get a chance to win free tickets.

We’re lucky to have so many fun local events for families to choose from each summer in the Cincinnati area. I’m excited to see this new one coming up on the calendar: the first annual Summer Fun on the Farm festival at Bonnybrook Farms on Saturday, June 20 Aug. 29.

Updated on June 19: Due to inclement weather, the Summer Fun on the Farm event has been rescheduled for Aug. 29. All tickets will still be valid for entry on the newly scheduled date. 

The festival lineup sounds like a blast: live country music, zesty BBQ, many signature attractions and fun contests for the entire family. (Scroll down to the bottom of this post for your chance to win a family four-pack of tickets to the festival.)

Bonnybrook Farms is located just 20 minutes east of Kings Island in Warren County. It’s a beautiful 370-acre working farm with fresh air, fishing ponds, pumpkin fields, Todd Fork creek and lots of wildlife.

The festival begins at 10am with a family-friendly 5K trail run/walk. The course will run throughout the farm with fresh air, rolling hills and creekside views. Participants will receive a t­-shirt and free entry into the festival.

Live country music at Summer Fun on the Farm begins with the talented Noah Smith Band, followed by a 5 p.m.southern country/rock show featuring 90 Proof Twang.

At noon, the live country music begins with the talented Noah Smith Band, followed by Wilder at 3 p.m. and a 5 p.m. southern country/rock show featuring 90 Proof Twang.

Throughout the day, the Farm Kitchen will be serving smokin’ good BBQ and farm fresh sides. Enjoy a refreshing beer, ice cold drink or ice cream as you take in the day’s events.

Want to try something unique? Check out activities such as giant slingshots, clodhopper golf, archery and an 80’ underground slide. Farm characters and real farm animals will also be there to greet you. You and the kids can even compete in an ice cream-eating contest, farmer’s race, cane pole fishing derby and more.

 

A portion of the festival’s proceeds will benefit River of Hope Ranch, a local non­profit offering equine­-assisted mental health counseling to children, teens and adults.
