Over 400 Festivals this weekend celebrating Bananas, Pierogi, Fried Green Tomatoes, Tacos, Cannabis and more.
You only need to take one look at the map below to see that this is a super festival weekend. The pins are all bunched together like a beautiful floral bouquet and, while the majority of the festivals are still fairly concentrated in the north, there’s quite a bit going on all over.
With more than 400 festivals this weekend, you can be sure to find all sorts of Art Festivals, Music Festivals, Fall Festivals and City Celebrations.
And there are also festivals with more unique themes this weekend, including a festival about Laura Ingalls Wilder in Wisconsin, Doc Holliday in Georgia, Bananas in Kentucky, Pierogi in Pennsylvania, Lionfish in Florida, Cornbread in Indiana, Collards in North Carolina and Cowpeas in Tennessee.
There’s really too many to mention, but we can take a quick look at each state and I’ll share those that grabbed my attention…
