Upcoming Northern Festival Weekend: November 5-8, 2026

Vikings, Christmas, Chocolate, Fall and a NEW GUIDE.

Welcome back, Festival Fans.

First off, I want you all to know that there is a NEW FESTIVAL GUIDE for the Northeast…

This is the first time I’ve put the festivals of multiple states all on one guide – so I hope it’s a success!

Definitely check it out and let me know what you think.

This weekend’s festivals in the Northern Region are made up some Fall Festivals, Pumpkin Fests, Day of the Dead Celebrations, Viking and Renaissance Festivals, some Food Festivals (Bacon, Oysters) and plenty of Holiday Markets and Festivals.

Yes, Christmas is already starting up so ease you way into the celebrations at your own pace (because there will be plenty of time for it).

Soon the events will be mostly made up with Holiday Light Festivals (drive-thrus and walk thrus).
