Holmes County Chamber maintains central events calendar for residents

Holmes County residents and visitors now have one go-to calendar for local happenings: the Holmes County Chamber & Tourism Bureau’s community events calendar. Covering Millersburg, Berlin, Walnut Creek and neighboring communities, the calendar lists recurring and one‑time events ranging from festivals and art exhibits to business gatherings, exhibitor and trade shows, and community programs.

The calendar serves as the primary local resource for upcoming activities, including multi-day events and seasonal shows aimed at both residents and tourists in the county’s Amish Country corridor. Member organizations and event hosts maintain listings, so entries are updated regularly to reflect date, time and venue changes. That makes the calendar a practical first stop before planning outings or scheduling community activities.

For small businesses, nonprofits and civic groups, a central calendar reduces the risk of scheduling conflicts and increases visibility to potential visitors who plan trips around fairs, craft shows and seasonal festivals. For the local tourism sector, consistent and accurate listings help concentrate promotional efforts and can smooth the flow of visitors across weekends and peak seasons. For families and regulars, the calendar simplifies finding recurring programs such as craft markets, gallery openings and civic meetings that shape weekend plans and volunteer schedules.

The calendar is also useful as a confirmation tool. Because event details can change, residents should use the Chamber calendar to verify dates, start times and venues and then follow up directly with the hosting organization if they need specific ticketing or accessibility information. The calendar is reachable at business.holmescountychamber.com/events, where users can browse by town or event type to find current listings.

Keeping local schedules centralized matters in a county where weekend traffic, lodging and dining patterns shift with festivals and harvest-season tourism. Accurate, up-to-date listings help restaurants and shops anticipate busy periods, help volunteer-run events attract needed staff, and help neighbors avoid double-booking community halls and fairgrounds.

Our two cents? Before you head out to Berlin for a craft show or plan a Millersburg weekend, check the Chamber’s calendar and then call the event host to confirm the details. It saves a trip and keeps Holmes County’s events running smoothly for residents and visitors alike.
