Upcoming Festival Weekend: July 24-27, 2025

Pierogi, Garlic, Hot Dogs, Watermelon, UFO’s and so much more celebrated this weekend.

Welcome back, Festival Fans.

I am finally back from my vacation, so I am able to take a little more time preparing these weekly posts (while playing catchup on all the festival guides).

Before I tell you about this weekend’s festivals, let me say that I’m currently working on confirming dates on the Festival Guides for the month of August and September, which I hope to complete in the next 2-3 weeks. If you have noticed an asterisk (*) next to the date of a listing, it means that it is unconfirmed or tentative. I hope to either eliminate the asterisks or note the listing as either cancelled or discontinued (I usually use this if I can’t find any info at all).

At any time, if you find a listing date or note that is inaccurate, please write to me and let me know. There could have been a change since I last updated it.

Now, about this weekend’s festivals, you will have a lot of options this weekend if you live in the states of California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

And there are some really well-known festivals returning this weekend like the Gilroy Garlic Festival in California, the Pierogi Fest of Whiting, Indiana, Hemingway Days of Key West, Florida…

…and Glier’s Goettafest of Newport, Kentucky (Review).

Plus there are all sorts of interesting-sounding festivals, like the…

Altus Grape Fest in Arkansas
the Courtland Pear Fair in California
Golden Buffalo Bill Days in Colorado
Atlanta Ice Cream Festival in Georgia
Japanese Summer Festival in Illinois
Swiss Days in Indiana
Nordic Fest in Iowa
the Children of Odin Festival in Kentucky
Yale Bologna Festival in Michigan
Charlotte Peruvian Festival in North Carolina
National Day of the Cowboy in Oklahoma and Texas
Flood City Music Festival in Pennsylvania
Gherkinfest in Tennessee
Hot Dog Festival in West Virginia
UFO Days in Wisconsin
plus Watermelon Fests
Italian Fests
Greek Fests
and so much more!

****

Have a great weekend, everyone!
