Upcoming Festival Weekend: May 15-18, 2025

Wonderful festival weekend with all sorts of great options!

Welcome back, Festival Fans.

Festivals really pick up this weekend, offering you even more than you’ll get during Memorial Day Weekend next weekend.

And while I’d love to let you know the popular festival themes this weekend and highlight the interesting ones, I am a little short on time due to an upcoming trip.

Therefore, I’m just going to give you the lists and map. Hopefully, it’s just enough to help you plan your weekend.

If there are any festivals missing, feel free to write to me. I may not be able to get it in time this year, but at least I’ll be aware of and make sure it’s included for the years ahead.

****

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-051825/

Until next week…

Love, Peace and Festival Grease!
