Community & Special Events

The City of Wyoming and Wyoming Recreation Department continue to bring new activities and events to Wyoming while offering events that are cherished year after year.

Art Show
The annual Art Show is held every year on the third Sunday in May along the tree-lined streets of Worthington Avenue and on the grounds of the Civic Center. Over 125 regional fine arts exhibitors are selected to participate in the booth sales and competition. At the close of the show pieces are professionally judged and cash awards are presented. The Wyoming Art Show is operated by a volunteer group of Wyoming residents, with the City of Wyoming providing invaluable support, services, and space. The Art Show has been cancelled for 2020 and went viral for 2021. For more information visit this site: www.wyomingartshow.org

Summer Concerts & Events
Wyoming hosts a number of Summer Concerts on the Village Green and Civic Center with live music, craft beer, wine, and food. As details get finalized they will be posted to our social media pages, to the website, and on the website calendar. Events are also listed in detail in the Word on Wyoming and Recreation Times publications that are mailed to all homes.

Fourth of July
The Annual Fourth of July celebration is the most popular event and tradition that overflows with small town flavor. A new theme is chosen each year and carried through the day’s events. The morning parade features neighborhoods competing for who carried out the theme best. In the afternoon, many neighborhoods take advantage of this opportunity to get reacquainted by organizing a block party. At dusk, a live band plays music and refreshments are available. The City lets off a firework display as the grand finale of the day. For more information about The City of Wyoming’s Fourth of July Celebration, call 513.821-5200 or email.

Halloween Activities
Howling Pooch Parade
This is an annual family friendly custom event for local dogs and their people includes agility demonstrations, pet-themed vendors, refreshments, raffles, and prizes in various categories for dogs. The parade starts at 2:00 p.m., Wyoming Civic Center.

Fall Festival
Fall Festival is an annual event on the first Saturday in October. The Festival began as a small effort and has grown to be a large festival, shutting down Wyoming Avenue. Many vendors line the streets of Wyoming Avenue’s business district, selling crafts, food, art, and more. Live music and entertainment is carried on throughout the day at the gazebo in the Village Green Park. For more information about Wyoming’s Fall Festival, please call 513.821-7600 or email.
