The Grindstone Festival is Berea’s signature Fourth of July celebration — and this year is especially meaningful as we commemorate the Nation’s 250th Anniversary. We’re planning to celebrate in a big way!

This beloved one-day event features activities for all ages, including paddleboat rides on Coe Lake, live entertainment and band concerts, inflatables for kids, and a wide variety of food vendors. The evening concludes with a spectacular fireworks display over Coe Lake, drawing thousands of visitors from throughout the region to celebrate our community and our country together.
