Another Annual MacGahan Festival is behind us. Many thanks to everyone who came to celebrate his remarkable personality and character. Next year's 48th Festival will be on June 13, 2026. Please, mark your calendars, we hope to see more of you there, Prof. Dr. Ivan Dinev Ivanov, who is one of the organizers of the traditional MacGahan Festival, wrote on Facebook.

The 47th edition of the MacGahan Annual Festival was held on June 14 in New Lexington, Ohio. Wreaths and flowers were laid at the stone sarcophagus of the legendary journalist in Maplewood Cemetery in New Lexington and the MacGahan statue in front of the Perry County Courthouse.
