Upcoming Western Festival Weekend: March 12-15, 2026

Irish Festivals, Holi Fests, Music Festivals, Market Festivals, Powwows and so much more!

Welcome back, Festival Fans!


With St. Patrick’s Day around the corner (March 17), you can bet there are going to be plenty of St. Patrick’s Day and Irish Festivals this weekend.

But, if corned beef and beer is not your thing, there are many other types of festivals to enjoy as well.

In Texas, for example, there’s a Hot Cheetos Festival, a Mochi Fest, a Monarch Fest and a festival called Blues and Tattoos. California offers Blossom Days, a Cherry Blossom Festival and all sorts of Market Festivals.

Plus there are Art Festivals, Music Festivals, Food Festivals and even an Ostrich Festival (in Arizona).

Here’s a quick peek at some of the interesting festivals going on this weekend…

And there are many more, so look at the lists below and be sure to check the map to see if there are festivals going on around you (maybe even in neighboring states).

If you can’t find anything of interest, you can always look ahead at the 2026 Festival Guide.

Currently, I’m in my second round of updating June Festivals, so keep checking the guide.

It’s always being updated.
