Upcoming Western Festival Weekend: July 30 - August 2, 2026

Rodeos, Pow Wows, County Fairs, Arts, Music and More.

Welcome back, Festival Fans!

There’s a lot going on this weekend – and maybe not so much – just depending on what state you live in.

Big festival states this weekend are California, Colorado, Oregon and Washington while remaining states still have stuff going on, so it’s worth a look.

Actually, I should mention that, for some states, I didn’t originally include county fairs when creating Festival Guides. Only Festival Guides created in the past year or two had County Fairs included.

So if your state doesn’t have County Fairs and you want them included, please let me know. For some states, it could really help you find something to do.

Concerning this weekend’s festivals, you should be able to find many Festivals with Wine, Beer, Music (including Jerry Garcia), the Arts and various Festival Markets, Block Parties and the like.

Here’s a small sampling of the festivals you can find throughout this region…

Jerry Garcia Birthday Bash in Arizona
Antioch Multicultural Festival in California
Indian Fair Days Pow Wow in California
Moffat County Hot Air Balloon Festival in Colorado
Parker Honey Festival in Colorado
Wild Bill Hickok Rodeo in Kansas
Goldfield Days in Nevada
Hummingbird Festival in New Mexico
Mountain View Free Fair in Oklahoma
Dahlia Fest in Oregon
Obon Fest in Oregon
Houston Villain Arts Tattoo Festival in Texas
Mossyrock Blueberry Festival in Washington
Hillyard Hi-Jinx Parade and Festival in Washington

And there are many more.

Be sure to take your time when going through the festival listings as there are plenty of options. And please check the map as some festivals may be closer to you than you think.
