Avon (Ohio)

city in Ohio, United States

Avon is a suburb of Cleveland with about 24,000 people (2018). There's not a lot to draw visitors, but those with a sense of whimsy may want to come in late June for the Avon Heritage Duck Tape Festival, which celebrates duct tape (yes, it's a festival about adhesive tape) and is sponsored by Duck brand duct tape.

Get in

I90/SR2 passes through northern Avon, reaching Cleveland to the east, and Toledo to the west.
