Oglebayfest is Wheeling's big fall weekend at Oglebay Park, and the resort leans into a German angle with a beer garden and Rathskeller set up at Hess Shelter. Alongside the seasonal brews and German-inspired plates there are accordion players, folk dancers and a beer stein holding competition. The rest of the grounds fill with the Ohio County Country Fair, artisan booths, a Saturday morning parade and a fireworks show over Schenk Lake. Sunday morning adds a tongue-in-cheek 0.5K Beer Dash for anyone who wants a race bib with minimal running.
