Bee a Friend
Bee a Friend is a kid-centered community festival in Austintown, Ohio that focuses on kindness, inclusion, and supporting families. The program combines a community run with family-oriented activities and a Best Friends Parade where groups are invited to decorate as favorite friends; costumes are encouraged but not required.
The event includes a community 5K called Logan's Landing and a Best Friends Parade. Onsite features listed for the day include sensory-aware activities, a sensory-friendly indoor pavilion designed for calm breaks and quiet time, and displays of first responder trucks. A curated market will host vendors who support the autism community through resources and lived experience.
Throughout the day there are raffles, awards and prizes, with sponsorships directed to the Logan’s Landing Project and its work to make play and travel more accessible for families. Registration fees are noted for event components, and one parade option is listed with no fee. The location is 6000 Kirk Road, Austintown, OH 44515.
