Celebrate Ohio’s rich film legacy with Ohio Goes to the Movies, a statewide, 250-day cinematic event coming to all 88 counties! Enjoy screenings of iconic films, hidden gems, and historic footage—all with ties to the Buckeye State. As part of the festivities, Ariel-Foundation Park will present a special outdoor screening of Bye Bye Birdie in tribute to Mount Vernon native Paul Lynde.

Partnership events are supported, in part, through a grant from the Knox County Foundation and the City of Mount Vernon Lodging Excise Tax.
