Renaissance Fairs, India Fest, Irish Fests, Kielbasa, Sunflowers, Hippies, Grape Stomp and more.
Welcome back, Festival Fans!
This weekend, in terms of festivals, the big states are Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
While looking through the lists, I’m noticing a lot of India Fests, Sunflower Festivals, Grape Stomp Fests, Dragon Boat Festivals, Music Fests, Beer Festivals, and Kielbasa/Sausage Fests.
If you are interested in reading some of my experiences, I have been to some of this weekend’s festivals in Michigan, including…
…the Michigan Renaissance Festival (Review) in Holly…
…the Danish Festival (Review) in Greenville…
…the Howell Melon Festival (Review)…
…the Montrose Blueberry Festival (Review)…
…the Sumner Daze Festival (Review)…
…and the DeWitt Ox Roast (Review).
While I have not attended this next festival, I feel I should let you know…
…that it’s also the weekend of the Milwaukee Irish Festival – possibly the largest Irish Festival in the world!
Here are some particular festivals to look for in the lists below…
- a Sweet Tea Festival in Alabama
