Berea’s rich cultural heritage and traditions coupled with our many family friendly and free events make this a great place to live and work.

 

The Grindstone Festival is Berea’s signature Fourth of July celebration. This three-day event includes activities for all ages. There are paddleboat rides on Coe Lake, an outdoor movie, live entertainment with band concerts, face painting, games, rides and food vendors. The Grindstone Festival parade includes community groups and veterans’ organizations marching through downtown Berea past the Triangle. A spectacular fireworks display tops off the Fourth of July at Coe Lake and attracts thousands of visitors from throughout the region.
