Halloween and Pumpkin Festivals, Dia de los Muertos, Food Festivals Galore and so much more.
Welcome back, Festival Fans!
It’s the weekend before Halloween and the Day of the Dead, so there’s a nice amount of both Dia de los Muertos Celebrations – particularly in Texas – and Halloween Festivals.
In fact, in regards to Halloween-esque festivals, there are the…
- Bigfoot Fun-Fly and Festival in Alabama
- Steamers and Dreamers Steampunk Festival in Alabama
- Eureka Springs Zombie Crawl in Arkansas
- Festival of Darkness in Arkansas
- Sea Witch Festival in Delaware
- Gilmore’s Monster Mash in Illinois
- The Battletown Witch Festival in Kentucky
- Madison Scarecrow Festival in Mississippi
- Stangl Witch Walk and Moon Market in New Jersey
- Goose Bumps in the Grove in North Carolina
- Joshua K Jennings Jack-O-Lantern Jamboree in Tennessee
- Bat Festivals in Florida, Illinois, Minnesota
- And all sorts of Halloween and Pumpkin Festivals
Here are some returning festivals that I’ve visited in the past..
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).
The Owl Fest at Eagle Creek Park (Review) in Indianapolis, Indiana is smaller family festival with snacks, crafts, games, presentations and more.
The Dollywood Harvest Festival (Review) in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee brings artisan vendors, specialty fall menus and a ton of playful Halloween decor throughout the park.
Overall, this weekend offers a lot of festivals, particularly in the southern states. And, while many festivals deal with Fall, the Harvest or similar, I also noticed many interesting Food Festivals this weekend, including…
- a Peanut Butter Festival in Alabama
- a Mushroom Festival in Alabama
- Apple Butter Festivals in Arkansas, Missouri and South Carolina
- a Stone Crab Festival in Florida
- a Collard Green Festival in Florida
- Shimp and Grits Festival in Georgia
- Sweet Potato Festivals in Georgia and Texas
- a Chitlin Festival in Georgia
- Chocolate Festivals in Indiana
- Sweet Dough Pie Festival in Louisiana
- a Crab Cake Festival in Maryland
- an Oyster Festival in New Jersey
- a Yam Festival in North Carolina
- a Chicken Mull Festival in North Carolina
- Pecan Festivals in Texas and Virginia
- a Hot Pepper Festival in Texas
Plus there are Cultural Festivals, Arts Festivals, Fall Festivals, Farm Festivals, Spirit/Alcohol Festivals, Music Festivals, and so much more!
