Upcoming Western Festival Weekend: November 5-8, 2026

Dia de los Muertos, Fall and the start of Christmas.

Welcome back, Festival Fans!

While Fall Festivals are still going strongly, along with some Day of the Dead Festivals, I have to say that the Christmas Festivals are already beginning.

As you go through the lists below, you’ll see some Holiday Light Festivals and possibly some Holiday Markets.

If it’s too early for you (or you don’t celebrate Christmas), it’s okay. There are plenty of other festivals going on celebrating various Cultures, Food, Communities, Music, Art and more.

There are actually some interesting festivals: Sushi Fest, Panda Fest, a Mushroom Fest, Pomegranate Festivals, a Chocolate Festival, a Balloon Regatta and more.

If you scroll down, you’ll find all of the region’s weekend festivals below the Map (but be sure to take a look at the Map to see if anything is going on around you).

Also, don’t forget to check back here in future weeks and/or Subscribe for email notifications when new posts come out.

And, if you use Facebook, there are pages you can like/follow:
Arizona, California, Colorado, Kansas, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Washington
