Pickaway County, Ohio – Pickaway County will be joining the celebration of Ohio Tourism Day on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, from 11 am to 1 pm on the West Plaza of the Ohio Statehouse. Ohio Tourism Day is a statewide celebration of the tourism industry, offering an opportunity for visitors to plan their Ohio vacations while learning about destinations and attractions from all corners of the state.

At this year’s event, Pickaway County will be represented alongside other tourism destinations, sharing free materials to encourage visitors to explore the region. We are excited to showcase Pickaway County as a must-visit destination within Ohio, highlighting our local events, attractions, and businesses. Partners such as the Circleville Pumpkin Show, Inspiration Station, and the Pickaway County Ag and Event Center will also be represented, helping to tell the story of the diverse experiences that await visitors in Pickaway County.

“Ohio Tourism Day is an opportunity to share the experiences that make Pickaway County such a welcoming place to visit,” said Elizabeth Furniss, Executive Director of the Pickaway County Visitors Bureau. “We look forward to inspiring visitors to explore our region, from outdoor recreation, fun summer events, and an authentic small town vibe. I’m very grateful to live and serve in a community I love.”

The event will feature entertainment, demonstrations, and interactive experiences with representatives from Ohio’s tourism industry. It serves as a great chance to plan your next adventure in Ohio and connect with local tourism experts.

Ohio Tourism Day also brings attention to the economic impact of tourism in the state. Regionally, Pickaway County tourism generated over $209 million in visitor spending and contributed significantly to state and local tax revenues. This represents a 10% growth rate. The tourism activity also sustains approximately 1,600 jobs annually.

“We’re proud to be part of this important statewide celebration,” said Michelle Blanton, Mayor of Circleville. “Ohio Tourism Day serves as a reminder of the incredible impact tourism has on our economy and the role that local businesses and attractions, like those in Pickaway County, play in creating a vibrant and thriving Ohio.”
