Granville experience

The historic village of Granville is a prime spot for viewing. The streets are lined with spectators cheering on the longer routes passing through.

You’ll find a high energy environment with entertainment, signs, and spirit, and there are lots of great places to grab food or a drink while you’re there. 

Other prime spots for longer routes include New Albany, Newark, Gambier, and Kenyon College.
