SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM ME:

I’ve been updating the Festival Guides, removing the asterisk (*) once able to confirm the 2025 date and link.

Last week, I worked through April again.
Now I’m going through May again and really cleaning it up.

Keep in mind that the festival websites linked to events – even those I haven’t yet confirmed – may already be updated with 2025 info.

****

SECOND SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM ME:

Next week, I am going to start adding California to this weekly post.

Hopefully, it won’t be too much having all these states in the same post.

I can figure a way to add a Jump-To Link, I’ll definitely do that.

****

Have a great weekend, everyone!

If you happen to be in Ohio this weekend, check this weekend’s post at OhioFestivals.net to see what’s going on. You can find this week’s post at https://ohiofestivals.net/ohio-weekend-033025/

AND, if you’re going to be in California this weekend, you can find the map and listings on the California Festival Guide.

Until next week…

Love, Peace and Festival Grease!
