Add a little European flavor to your vacation when you book an RV in Tuscarawas County. The town of Sugarcreek, about 50 miles south of Akron, owes a large part of its heritage to the Swiss immigrants who first settled there in the early 1800’s. Now a fascinating blend of Swiss and Amish culture, Sugarcreek boasts plenty of Swiss-style architecture, bulk food stores, shops featuring homemade cheeses, and bakeries. You’ll find plenty of these traditional stores mingling with well-known chains and modern business too. Sugarcreek is famous for celebrating its heritage during the annual Swiss Festival which has taken place each September since 1953. The event includes vibrant displays of traditional Swiss dress, opportunities to taste typical foods and wines, listen to regional music and see games and dances performed. In June, the town also hosts the annual 50’s Fling Festival, featuring classic car displays, live music, and entertainment.
