2025 Brings a New Year of Festivals, plus some announcements.
Happy 2025, Festival Fans.
The California Festival Guide is brand new and I hope you’ll share it with your loved ones to help plan your festivals this year.
Use the festival to…
- find festival gigs for your band
- book a booth to sell your food or crafts
- plan festivals to visit with your friends and/or family
- Just use it!
At Festival Guides and Reviews, there are 26 other State Festival Guides also listed in case you ever travel or move to those other states.
AND, in January, I will be adding the states of Oklahoma, Kansas and Colorado to the lists – so stay tuned for that.
This weekend, the festivals are mostly made of up Holiday Light events and New Year’s Eve Celebrations (over by the time you read this).
But stay tuned next week for new festivals or just look ahead at the California Festival Guide to see what’s coming up.
If you’re out of state this weekend, you can find festivals in 25 other states in this week’s post at: https://festivalguidesandreviews.com/festival-weekend-010525
Are you in Ohio this weekend? Then you can find this weekend’s festivals here: https://ohiofestivals.net/ohio-weekend-010525.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Until next week…
Love, Peace and Festival Grease!
