Lawrence County Area Tourism

Ohio University Southern has been part of this community for 70 years. This fall, we're celebrating it the only way that makes sense, which is with the people who've been here alongside us.

Festival of the Hills is Saturday, Oct. 10, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. here on campus, in partnership with America 250 Lawrence County Ohio. Expect a full day of live music, good food, and fall activities for every age.

The artisans, growers, community organizations, educational partners, and heritage demonstrators who've already signed up are the ones who show what's special about this place, and we're grateful for every one of them. There's still room for a few more, and there's no registration fee.

UPDATES!!! Take a look ⬇️

🚨 The bar doesn't close when the kitchen does anymore.

Starting this Friday, Piazza Melini opens up late from 9pm to 2am, Friday and Saturday nights, right here in downtown Ironton.

🍕 Seven 10" pizzas. The ones you already know by heart, plus a few new ones we've been quietly working on. Gluten-free crust now available on any of them.

🍹 And here's the part we're proud of 👉 Every single pizza has a mocktail built to go with it. Blackberry Sage Mule with the Meat Lover's. Pineapple Jalapeño Cooler with the BBQ Chicken. Smoked Cherry Cola Smash next to the pepperoni. Zero proof, all flavor and yes, they're every bit as good as they sound.

🍸 Three new cocktails behind the bar, too: Jalapeño Margarita, Cucumber Lemonade, and an Espresso Martini for the folks who aren't ready to call it a night. Plus the full bar you already know.

Bring your people. We'll be here til 2am. 🌙

Tag the friend you're bringing, and share this with somebody who's been looking for something to do downtown after 9. 👇

Good pizza. Great people. Unforgettable nights.

Friday, August 28 & Saturday, August 29 · 9pm–2am
