Upcoming Festival Weekend: August 7-10, 2025

Hundreds of festivals this weekend, including Bigfoot, Davy Crockett, food festivals (Corn, Watermelon, Blueberry, Pierogi, Brats/Kielbasa, Bagels), Cultural Festivals and more.

Welcome back, Festival Fans.

Before I talk about this particular weekend, I wanted to remind you that we have officially entered Oktoberfest Season.

I have updated the Oktoberfest and German Festival Guide for the states and I am putting together a map of all the confirmed festival cities (please remember that any asterisk next to the date means “tentative.”).

Many of the October dates haven’t been checked yet, so give me a little time to go through that.

In the meantime, you can check out – and bookmark – the 2025 Oktoberfest and German Festival Guide – https://festivalguidesandreviews.com/oktoberfest-guide-2025/

And, if you want Ohio’s Guide, you can get it at https://ohiofestivals.net/ohio-oktoberfest-2025/
