Bluetip Mission Statement: to provide wholesome Annual family entertainment to the Wadsworth community for the purpose of returning earned profits to non-profit Wadsworth organizations enhancing the wellbeing of our local community.

The Blue Tip Festival is a five day celebration of the Wadsworth, Ohio community. It starts with a world class parade and the lighting of a giant, twenty foot blue tip match which lights downtown Wadsworth during the festival's duration.
