Chardon is known for its [[maple syrup]] industry. Celebration of the syrup season begins at Tapping Sunday in March, when the sap is at prime thawing temperature.  The annual Geauga County Maple Festival<ref>[http://www.maplefestival.com/ Geauga County Maple Festival official site]</ref> is a four-day celebration that takes place on the Chardon Square the last weekend in April. The festival has been rescheduled numerous times because of snowstorms in April due to Chardon's location in the “[[snow belt]]” of the [[Great Lakes]]; it receives a large amount of snowfall every year.

Chardon has an active performance art community. The Geauga Lyric Theater Guild is housed in the renovated Geauga Theater building, which was constructed in 1939 as an Art Deco movie house. The theater is also being used again to show first-run movies.<ref>"[http://infoweb.newsbank.com/iw-search/we/InfoWeb?p_action=doc&p_topdoc=1&p_docnum=1&p_sort=YMD_date:D&p_product=NewsBank&p_text_direct-0=document_id=(%200F2FBD741F851351%20)&p_docid=0F2FBD741F851351&p_theme=aggregated4&p_queryname=0F2FBD741F851351&f_openurl=yes&p_nbid=Q45O44YCMTE5OTMwOTU5OC40OTQ0MjQ6MToxMjoxOTguMzAuMjI4LjA&&p_multi=CPDB Guild restores murals that set the tone for Chardon's 1939, art deco cinema]", ''[[The Plain Dealer]]'', February 5, 2001.</ref><ref>[http://www.geaugatheater.org/movies.htm Movies for 4] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090202125205/http://geaugatheater.org/movies.htm |date=February 2, 2009 }} - Geauga Lyric Theater Guild website.</ref>
