Buckeye Lake Winterfest
January 31, 2026 @ 6:30 am – February 1, 2026 @ 2:30 pm
Buckeye Lake Winterfest is an annual community winter event highlighting “Benny the Bass” that takes place at Buckeye Lake Village in late January.
The festivities kick off with a fireworks show over the lake on the eve before the festival starts.
Wait with bated breath to find out if Benny the Bass takes the bait or not! If he takes it, that means an early spring is on the way. If Benny refuses breakfast, six more weeks of winter is in store.
Listen to some tunes with live music entertainment. Art shows will also be at Winterfest.
Check out the food and drink specials! Food trucks and more will be available.
The second day is the Buckeye Lake Polar Plunge…. are you brave enough to jump in the cold water???
