Love comes in many forms—friendships, family, food, and yes, even hometowns. And if there’s one town you’re bound to fall head over heels for this fall, it’s Hilliard, Ohio.
For the Love of Hilliard: A Can’t-Miss Fall Event
Mark your calendar for Saturday, September 6, from 11 AM to 2 PM, as Downtown Hilliard transforms into a hub of heart and hometown spirit during For the Love of Hilliard. This family-friendly celebration is bursting with live music, street performers, local eats, and one-of-a-kind shopping experiences.
“This event is a true testament to the strength of our small business community,” says Samantha Brill, Executive Director of Destination Hilliard. “When Old Hilliardfest was canceled, our community didn’t dwell in disappointment—they created something new. Something magical.”


Explore Old Hilliard with the Whole Family
Wander through charming Old Hilliard and support 20+ local businesses offering exclusive deals and pop-up shops. Kids can get hands-on with games and crafts, while you bop along to live music that brings the streets to life.
Be sure to pick up your Shop Local Passport—every purchase earns a stamp, and five or more stamps snag you:
- A limited-edition For the Love of Hilliard tote
- A chance to win fabulous gift baskets filled with local goodies and gift cards

What makes Hilliard extra lovable? The genuine warmth of a town that embraces visitors like old friends. As the leaves turn and the air crisps, you’ll find more than just a fun event—you’ll find a community that feels like home.
