The Ohio Valley Filk Fest, or O.V.F.F. is one of the largest filk music conventions. It is held annually in October in the Columbus, Ohio area. The culmination of the event is the presentation of the Pegasus Award, the best-known award in the filk genre.
The first OVFF was held in 1984 in Cincinnati and was attended by about 80 people; it included the presentation of the first Pegasus Awards. After skipping 1985, it moved to the Columbus area but retained "Ohio Valley" in its name. The convention has been held every year since then, in various locations in the Columbus area. Recent conventions had been held in Dublin, Ohio, but as of 2010 the convention has moved to nearby Worthington, also on the far north side of Columbus.

All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
