The Community

Few Midwest towns rival Perrysburg’s charm and sense of place. The vibrant, historic downtown area changes with the seasons: fall and winter bring annual festivals and events including the ice sculpture-filled WinterFest, October BooFest, International Festival, and Homecoming; the warmer months feature the extremely popular Thursday afternoon farmer’s market, which comprises dozens of vendors, food trucks, and live music, Friday evening car shows on the Commodore lawn, and Monday evening “Slow Rollers” community bide rides. Perrysburg is also home to historic sites such as Fort Meigs, community gems like the 577 Foundation (a garden, arts, and education center), music groups including the Perrysburg Chorale and Perrysburg Symphony Orchestra, city parks, the Way Public Library, and a wealth of independent, locally-owned restaurants. (Most Perrysburg residents have a favorite ice cream shop.) Outside the I-475 beltway, the Levis Commons center boasts numerous shops, restaurants, and a movie theater. Nearby Toledo’s offerings are just a few minutes up the road.
