Twins Days Festival, Twinsburgh, Ohio
The world’s largest annual gathering of twins (and other multiples) takes place in the appropriately named Twinsburgh, Ohio. The festival honors the founding of the city in 1817 by identical twin brothers Aaron and Moses Wilcox. All kinds of twins — identical or fraternal, young or old, male or female — are invited to participate and take part in the Double Take Parade. The first Twins Day Festival took place in 1976, and 37 sets of twins attended. By 1995, 2,798 sets of twins registered for the event — an all-time high. Visitors don’t have to dress alike, but those who do certainly make an impression!
