Pirates, the Renaissance, Peanuts, Moonshine, Honey, Seafood, Dragon Boats and plenty more this weekend!
Welcome back, Festival Fans.
As festival numbers in the north begin to drop, Southern States are maintaining some decent festival numbers – plus some great options!
Along with various Renaissance Festivals and Day of the Dead Festivals, there are plenty of delicious sounding Food Festivals, Cultural Festivals and more
Here are some of the interesting weekend festivals I noticed…
- Honey Bee Festival in Alabama
- Peanut AND Pecan Festivals in Alabama
- Ozark Moonshine and Music Festival in Arkansas
- Stone Crab Jam in Florida
- Lady of the Lakes Renaissance Faire in Florida
- Chicken Livers and Gizzards Festival in Georgia
