Easter Weekend with Cherry Blossoms, Food Fests, Cultural Festival and more.
Welcome back, Festival Fans.
It’s Easter Weekend and the festival scene is slowing down a bit (it picks back up next weekend), but there are still festivals to check out in-between the egg coloring, ham baking and chocolate basket preparations.
Festival themes this weekend have a lot of Spring focus, with Cherry Blossoms, Tulips, Dogwoods, and Spring Jubilees, while there are also Asian Festivals, Pow Wows, an Italian Festival and a bunch of Food Festivals (Crawfish, Oysters, Banana Pudding, Food Trucks) to go along with it.
Plus a Frog Jump and a Dog Surfing Festival? Count me in!
Here are some of the festivals going on in each state…
- Ozark Crawdad and Music Festival in Alabama

- St. Johns Catfish Festival in Florida
- East Coast Dog Surfing Festival in Florida
