The annual Last Stop Willoughby Festival


The fun begins at 8 AM until noon as the Willoughby Outdoor Market starts things off with over 60 vendors bringing fresh produce, bread, pastries, cookies, locally raised beef and pork, plants, dog treats, coffee, and more.  There will also be a variety of vendors selling specialty items including soaps, jewelry, beach glass gifts, home décor, and more.  Shop local through 12 pm and support homegrown and homemade.

Kids Zone From 10:00 - 2:00 pm will be located in Point Park and will include arts and crafts, as well as face painting. All activities in the park are free and sponsored by the Heart of Willoughby.

The annual parade kicks off at 2 p.m. from South High School, marching down Euclid Ave and through downtown Willoughby. We are offering cash prizes for the best-decorated float ($300/$200/$100)! To qualify, a “Float” is defined as having wheels!

If you would like to be in the parade, please REGISTER HERE.

Another must-see event that we named Last Stop Willoughby after is a Twilight Zone episode. It will be shown in the Willoughby Library.  Between 10 am and 4 pm, there will be continuous screenings of the Twilight Zone episode from Season One titled “A Stop at Willoughby”.  It is a haunting tale of a troubled man who has dreams of living in a wonderful place like Willoughby.

There will also be a Trolley video about the CP&E Trolley system that shuffled people back and forth from downtown Cleveland to Willo Beach on the lakefront in Willoughby

The Willoughby Arts Collaborative (WAC) will be conducting the fourth annual juried CHALKFEST during Last Stop Willoughby.  Back by popular demand, this year's CHALKFEST will feature new and fun chalking opportunities putting a spin on "chalk the walk." 

Professional artists will be chalking around town and you can vote for the “People’s Choice” at the library entrance. Kids will also be doing sidewalk chalk art, so come on over and get your hands all chalky! 




Again, we offer free booth space to non-profits and community groups to come and tell your story to the community!

Scouts, PTAs Animal orgs, come on down and tell your story!

In Point Park 10:00 - 2:00pm
