Fall Festivals, Halloween, Day of the Dead and more.
Welcome back, Festival Fans.
Festival numbers are dropping a bit in the North (some states have some dramatic drops this weekend), but there is still plenty to do.
Fall Festivals make up the majority of events as well as Fall-Related Fests (Chili, Flannel, Foliage) while there are many Beer Festivals, Seafood Festivals, Halloween themed Festivals, and Day of the Dead Festivals.
You’re complete list of festivals is BELOW (under the Map).
You may even notice that I’m working on a New England Festival Guide. Not sure if I’m going to include those listings in the Northern Region weekly posts or put them in their own region – just depends on how big the guide is.
Stay tuned for that.
