Upcoming Southern Festival Weekend: June 4-7, 2026

A great festival weekend.

Welcome back, Festival Fans.

As I write this post to help you prepare for some festivals, I am also preparing for an international trip…

…so the posts these next two weeks are going to be a little shorter than usual.

Festival numbers increase for just about all of the states with impressive numbers in Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.

While I definitely recommend thoroughly going through the lists below, I do want to give a little sampling of what festivals you can find throughout the region…

Haleyville 911 Festival in Alabama
North Alabama African Heritage Festival in Alabama
Lavaca Berry Festival in Arkansas
Wellborn Blueberry Festival in Florida
Chiefland Watermelon Festival in Florida
Cowboy Western Heritage Festival in Georgia
Georgia Blueberry Festival in Georgia
Menifee Mountain Memories Festival in Kentucky
