Upcoming Southern Festival Weekend: November 6-9, 2025

Oysters, Peanuts, the Renaissance, Christmas and a nice variety this weekend!

Welcome back, Festival Fans.

While most of the Fall/Harvest/Halloween Festivals have been exchanged for Christmas/Holiday/Light Festivals beginning this weekend (and for the rest of the year), there is still a wonderful variety of festivals going on throughout the Southern Region.

Along with all the Peanut, Oyster and Wine Festivals, there are Renaissance and Medieval Fests, plus all sorts of Cultural Festivals, Food Festivals and more.

Here are even more of the interesting weekend festivals I noticed…

Muscle Shoals Songwriters Festival in Alabama
Brewing HOPE Coffee Festival in Arkansas
Festival of the Skeletons in Florida
Thunderbird Inter-Tribal Powwow in Florida
Atlanta Kosher BBQ Festival in Georgia
Louisville Pagan Roots Festival in Kentucky
Berwick Lighthouse Festival in Louisiana
Highlands and Islands Celtic Heritage and Music Festival in Mississippi
Catawba Veterans Festival in North Carolina
Rockabillaque Charleston in South Carolina
Soddy-Daisy Pie Festival in Tennessee
Thomas Jefferson Wine Festival in Virginia

And so many more!

Have a great weekend, everyone!
