48th Annual

OHIO RIVER STERNWHEEL FESTIVAL

Each year, the Ohio River Sternwheel festival draws crowds of up to 100,000 people to Ohio’s oldest city for a party in the streets. At the confluence of the Ohio and Muskingum rivers, festival-goers enjoy paddle-wheelers, events, and the famous fireworks display. Our sponsors and volunteers are essential for the continuation of this beloved festival tradition in our riverboat town.

Help new generations fall in love with historic Marietta by supporting the area’s biggest annual celebration.
