We are growing to meet the interests of the community. We are planning for 10,000+ attendees and more exhibits than ever. Train Festival at The Depot would not be possible without Sponsors and Volunteers. Exhibitors, you provide most of the attraction. Booth space is going fast!

Sponsors, we are really focusing on increasing the exposure for your contribution, not only at the festival, but through out Central Ohio and year round. Your early contribution will help us provide the best Train Festival possible and insure that you can take full advantage of pre-event publicity. Click here...

About Train Festival 2007

Thank you last year's Sponsors! And thanks to those that have renewed for 2008! Sponsors

The 2007 Train Festival at The Depot had over 6,000 attendees, 40 exhibitors, entertainers, many new attractions and great weather. It was a spectacular event. About 3,100 people of all ages rode the Scioto Valley Railroad, our new miniature train shown at the top. The refurbished Great Northern Ranch Dining Car helped young and old relive the elegance of rail travel. Everyone had a great time sharing train heritage, model trains, music, kids games, entertainment, education and food. Thanks to all the attendees, exhibitors, volunteers and sponsors for another highly successful Train Festival at The Depot.
