    About the Ashtabula Covered Bridge Festival

    The Ashtabula Covered Bridge Festival is hosted in Jefferson where there will be a parade, Queen’s pageant, crafts, antique cars, antique engines, entertainment, a quilt show, and food vendors.

    The main attraction, however, is the self-guided driving tour of 18 of the 19 Ashtabula covered bridges (Harpersfield Covered Bridge is under construction throughout 2023).

    At each bridge you will find live music, refreshments, and entertainment.

    Along the tour you will get to see the Smolen-Gulf Covered Bridge which is Ohio’s longest and it takes you over the Ashtabula River. You will also stop at West Liberty, the shortest covered bridge open to traffic.

    There are also over 100 barn quilts to be seen along the tour.

    A downloadable tour map is available. There is also a Covered Bridge Trail pass available – for each bridge on the tour, check in using your phone’s GPS, and win Ashtabula County themed prizes.

    Some of the covered bridges you will come to are Netcher, Root, State, Benetka, Riverview, Doyle, Mechanicsville, and Windsor Mills.

    Admission and parking are free at this festival.

    Please visit the website and/or social media for up-to-date schedules and operating hours for this event.
