Celebrate one of Knox County’s favorite hometown traditions at the 49th Annual Fredericktown Tomato Show, a four-day community festival filled with family fun, live entertainment, contests, food, and plenty of tomato-themed tradition. This year’s theme, “Freedom. Unity. Remembrance.”, celebrates the spirit and history of the Fredericktown community.

The Tomato Show offers something for everyone, from arts, crafts, antiques, and collectibles to fresh produce, flowers, baked goods, canned goods, and tomato products. Families can enjoy a variety of kid-friendly activities, including the Kids’ and Critters’ Parade, Little Miss Tomato Pageant, pedal tractor pulls, baby crawling contest, Big Wheel Races, face painting, and a petting zoo.

Entertainment takes the stage throughout the weekend, along with the annual Fredericktown Chevrolet Parade on Saturday, a 5K Run, cornhole toss, bathtub races, and the popular Limited Edition Plate Auction. Visitors can also stop by the Main Street Free Press Museum for tours and demonstrations throughout the show.

With activities taking place throughout downtown Fredericktown, the Tomato Show is a great opportunity to experience small-town Ohio at its best—bringing generations of residents and visitors together for a weekend of community, tradition, and fun.
