More Holiday Light Festivals and Christmas Festivals as Thanksgiving approaches.
Welcome back, Festival Fans.
Thanksgiving is just around the corner and all the Holiday Festivals – whether Light Festivals, Christmas Markets or Christmas Festivals – are starting to really pick up.
Throughout California, there is a nice increase in festivals this weekend and this will continue next weekend and the week after as more multi-weekend Holiday Light Festivals and Christmas Markets start up.
If you’re still not quite ready to embrace the holidays, California does have some other offerings, including…
- a Birding Symposium in Stockton
- a Mandarin Festival in Roseville
- Water Lantern Festivals in Elverta and Palm Desert
- a Mushroom Fair in Arcata
- a Heavy Metal Music Festival in Santa Ana
- a Doggie Street Festival in San Diego
- and more.
Be sure to go through the guide and use the map, as a festival may be closer than you think!
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-112424
Are you in Ohio this weekend? Then you can find this weekend’s festivals here: https://ohiofestivals.net/ohio-weekend-112424.

Until next week…
Love, Peace and Festival Grease!
