Upcoming Festival Weekend: February 10-13, 2022

Chocolate Festivals and more this Valentine’s Day Weekend!

If you don’t have flowers, chocolates and restaurant reservations yet, festival fans, now is the time to get those done for this upcoming Valentine’s Day Weekend. Of course, whether you are in a relationship of some form or not, you can always take advantage of some of the chocolate-themed festivals going on this weekend. Some of those chocolate festivals are even paired with adult beverages, such as wine and whiskey.

And if you don’t like chocolate?

Well there are Mac and Cheese Festivals, Oyster Festivals, Garlic Festivals, and even Maple Syrup Festivals. But it doesn’t have to be all about eating. You could celebrate Sturgeons, go festive for Bats, and embrace the winter with Winter festivals, Ice festivals and a Yeti festival.

There are plenty of options (depending on the state).

Big festival states this weekend are Florida and Michigan with Indiana, New York, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin looking pretty good for a February weekend.

Here are some festivals to check out in each state…

Have a great weekend, everyone!
