Duck Tape Festival Expected To Bring 50,000 To Avon

AVON, OH — The 2022 Duck Tape Festival will take over Mercy Health Stadium this Father's Day.

Admission and parking are free and the festival is expected to draw more than 50,000 people into Avon. The festival opens June 16 and runs through June 18.

This year's theme is "Knock It Out of the Park" and will feature baseball-related highlights. Attendees can expect crafts, food, life-sized Duck Tape sculptures and other activities.

Mercy Health Stadium, home of the Lake Erie Crushers, is located at 2009 Baseball Boulevard.

The first Duck Tape Festival was held in 2004, as a celebration of Shurtape Technologies, the makers of Duck Tape, and longtime Avon residents. Over the past 18 years, the festival has brought more than 500,000 people to Avon.

The Duck Tape brand also sponsors an annual Stuck at Prom contest that awards scholarships to high school students that design awe-inspiring formal wear using Duck Tape.
