Upcoming Labor Day Festival Weekend: August 28 - September 1, 2025

Labor Day Weekend is here and the festivals are going to really start kickin’.

Welcome back, Festival Fans.

We are entering my favorite time of the year, late Summer and Fall, when the festivals really start kicking up. The summer vacations are over and families are visiting festivals more, which means festivals are bigger and better and even the smallest of towns can be holding festivals with over 100k people.

This is a time of apples and pumpkins, cider and pie, pawpaws, reenactments, harvest-time, Oktoberfest (check the 2025 Guide), Halloween, foliage, grape stomping, Bluegrass, Dia de Los Muertos and so much more!

And it’s a time when all the states will have so many festival options. Making maps each week is going to take me twice the time it normally does – but it’s worth it.

And this period is starting up now with this three day holiday weekend.

The big festival states this weekend are California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

If you live in Michigan, I have one experience of a returning festival that I’d like to share…

…the Michigan Renaissance Festival in Holly (Review).

Here are some of this weekend’s interesting festivals…

St. William Seafood Festival in Alabama
Camden Hot-Air Balloon Fest in Arkansas
Big Foot Jamboree in California
Paul Bunyan Days in California
Boulder Art Festival in Colorado
Arden Fair in Delaware
GeckoFest in Florida
