Ohio Is For Lovers Festival Tickets

Ohio Is For Lovers Festival is the Ohio edition of the fan-focused Is For Lovers Festival, founded in 2022 by Hawthorne Heights (JT Woodruff and bandmates).

Hawthorne Heights remains the founder and curator, shaping a festival experience built on accessibility, community, and a strong DIY spirit.
