The 2025 Harrod Pork Rind Heritage Festival is fast approaching. We have even more NEW exciting things planned for this year! Over our history we have grown considerably. We pride ourselves on providing family fun and bringing people from all over the state into our local community to showcase Allen County, Ohio at its best!

The committee’s goal is to again provide a safe, fun event where local groups and organizations can show community pride and raise funds to help their group operate throughout the year. Over the years, we are pleased to say the festival committee has been able to make numerous donations to support local schools events, fire department equipment, community center furniture, park equipment and preservation and fund a large scholarship to  deserving local seniors, each spring, to help with college expenses.
