Another great festival weekend – plus the Oktoberfest and German Festival Guide!
Welcome back, Festival Fans.
It’s yet another huge festival weekend, particularly in the north, and it is taking me forever to make these weekly festival maps as I keep adding more and more pins (it’s going to get more involved through the month of October – and maybe again at Christmastime).
The 2025 Oktoberfest and German Festival Guide has been updated through October and the map is ready to go. The cities marked are for confirmed events.
You can access the Oktoberfest Map HERE.
The actual Guide can be found at https://festivalguidesandreviews.com/oktoberfest-guide-2025/
And, if you want Ohio’s Guide, you can get it at https://ohiofestivals.net/ohio-oktoberfest-2025/

Concerning this weekend of festivals, the big states are California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
My apologies last week for posting the wrong weekend of festivals for California. It is correct this week.
If you live in Michigan, I have some experiences of returning festivals that I’d like to share, such as…
…the Michigan Renaissance Festival in Holly (Review)…
…the Dragon on the Lake Festival in Lake Orion (Review)…
…the Lincoln Park Days Festival (Review)…
…the Taste of Greece Festival in Plymouth (Review)…
…and the Our Lady of the Scapular Polish Summer Festival in Wyandotte (Review).
Here are some interesting festivals I’ve noticed…
- Fyffe UFO Days in Alabama
- Bluegrass and Fried Chicken Festival in Arkansas
- King Tut Festival in California
- St. Rocco’s Italian Festival in Colorado
- Unicorn Festival in Colorado
- Delaware Burger Battle
- Swiss Wine Fest in Indiana
- The Irish Hooley in Iowa
- Buttermilk Days Festival in Kentucky
- Gueydan Duck Festival in Louisiana
- Humongous Fungus Festival in Michigan
