It’s the last Festival Weekend before Christmas.
Welcome back, Festival Fans.
It’s less than a week before Christmas and, while the number of Christmas Markets and Festivals has dropped since last weekend…
…there are still some going on this weekend for some last minute Christmas Shopping…
…many with the chance to give Santa some last minute gift suggestions.
But don’t worry about Christmas Light Shows this weekend…
…as they are still running into Christmas, if not New Year’s Day.

A MESSAGE FROM ME
Before I leave you with the map and listing for this week’s festivals:
I wanted to offer you some special Holiday Wishes (Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, New Year).
I know that the California Festival is new and that there is still a small following, but I really want to express my sincere appreciation for those who have found and use the guide to search for festivals for themselves and their families.
Thanks also to the festivals, vendors and fans who have contacted me with festival dates and information.
And thanks still to those who have shared the guide and website with others.
I appreciate it.
I am not going to publish a post next week but I’ll be back for the start of 2025.
About 2025: the 2025 Guide is there on the same page as the 2024 Guide – you need only scroll past December.
Many dates haven’t yet been confirmed but I’m working on it.
