All sorts of wonderful Christmas Festivals and Holiday Light Shows throughout California this Thanksgiving Weekend.
Welcome back, Festival Fans.
Thanksgiving is here and, with it, plenty of multi-week Christmas Festivals and Holiday Light Shows are starting up. Many of them will run to Christmas or the New Year, giving you plenty of time to visit.
The festival numbers have doubled from last week and you can find them as far north as Redding and as far south as San Diego.
If you’re still not quite ready for Christmas, there is an Apple Butter Festival in Oak Glen, a Pow Wow in Indio and a Beer Festival in Coronado.
But it’s mostly about Christmas in one form or another.
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-120124
Are you in Ohio this weekend? Then you can find this weekend’s festivals here: https://ohiofestivals.net/ohio-weekend-120124.
Safe travels to those going out of town this weekend and a very Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
Until next week…
Love, Peace and Festival Grease!
