A look at the ways into town
This second Pumpkin Show video follows the major approaches into Circleville so visitors can recognize the roads and arrival areas before the crowds build.
The published video covers approaches from Columbus, Chillicothe, Lancaster, and eastern Ohio. It includes US 23, SR 188, US 22, Walnut Creek Pike, and the final approach toward downtown.
Firsthand guide, not an official traffic plan: Mike and Sherry’s drive shows what they encountered while filming. Show-day traffic control, closures, parking access, and shuttle operations can change. Follow law enforcement, posted signs, and current official Pumpkin Show information when you arrive.
