Upcoming Festival Weekend: February 23-26, 2023

Festivals celebrating beer, wine, food and more.

I hope you didn’t give up beer or wine for Lent, Festival Fans, because there are plenty drinking festivals this weekend.

If you’re looking for good Beer or Wine, you can easily find a festival for it this weekend in Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Mississippi, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. Some of these festivals add some BBQ, Chocolate, Bourbon, Whiskey or other, but most are strictly beer or wine.

Quite impressive, if I say so myself.

There are some good eating festivals as well, like the Oyster Festival in Alabama, the Jewish Food Festival in Florida, the Seafood Festival in South Carolina, and the Greek Fest in Wisconsin.

Other festivals worth mentioning include the Sea and Sand Festival in South Carolina, the Erie Winter Carnival in Pennsylvania, the North Carolina Black Heritage Festival, the Michigan Nordic Fire Festival, the Sandhill Crane Festival in Indiana, and the Scottish Games and Festival in Florida.

Look to the map below to see where you’ll find the festivals this weekend.

Update Notification:

I have completely going through all the festival listings and updated everything I could.

I have even gone through the months of March and April again, in case there were updates (and there were).

Over time, I’ll look for more.

Until then, please keep sharing the Festival Guides with others and getting the word out. That’s honestly the best way for new festivals and confirmed dates to make their way to my email.

I appreciate all your help!

Thanks for reading this week’s post and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Until next week…

Love, Peace and Festival Grease!
