BARBERTON, Ohio – The Barberton Mum Festival returns to Lake Anna Park Sept. 27-28.
The annual festival features 17,000 chrysanthemums hand-planted by color to create a beautiful mosaic. This year’s mum design and festival theme is “Catch the Buzz…Bee There!” The theme is a nod to the pollinators that make the blooming flowers possible.

Festival highlights include:
Live music and entertainment, including roving performers, a water-ski show and canoe races
Local craft vendors, food trucks and commercial vendors
Mum sales and presales
Festival hours are from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days. Lake Anna Park is located at 615 W. Park Ave.
