Upcoming Fall Festival Weekend: October 3-6, 2024

Nearly 1000 Festivals across the states and the introduction of a new state Festival Guide.

Welcome back, Festival Fans!

This coming weekend is really a HUGE festival weekend with nearly 1000 festivals across the 25 festivals listed in this Upcoming Festival Weekend post.

This doesn’t include the nearly 100 festivals in Ohio nor the 100 festivals listed at the brand new Festival Guide for the state of California!

While California is a new guide beginning this week, I am not going to be including the state in these weekly posts since it’s so far away. Instead, I’m writing a separate weekly post for it (link can be found below).

****

One quick note before I start discussing this weekend’s festivals:

While you should always check the official festival website before traveling to a festival in case of sudden cancellations or schedule changes, please be extra careful when traveling to areas affected by Hurricane Helene.

It is not possible for me to go through all the listings in time, so you should be extra careful to attend any area affected by the hurricane.

Not only may an event be cancelled but the travel route may be unsafe.

Please be careful.

Here are some of the festivals returning this weekend…

Vintage Market Days (Review) in going on this weekend in Florida, Michigan, and South Carolina this weekend.
This traveling show gives an assortment of vendors, food trucks and some form of entertainment.

The Conner Prairie Headless Horseman Festival (Review) in Fishers, Indiana is a fun family festival with tons of entertainment, games, food vendors, a corn maze, slides, and a special hayride where guests get to run into the Horseman himself. There is also a hot air balloon you can ride (weather permitting).

Greenup Old Fashion Days (Review) is a community family festival that offers live entertainment, a children’s inflatable area and train rides, various vendors, great food selections and more.

The WV Pumpkin Festival (Review) in Milton, West Virginia is a huge shopping festival as there is a plethora of vendors. There are also all sorts of entertainment and activities, food, and pumpkin treats.
