Upcoming Western Festival Weekend: August 6-9, 2026

County Fairs, Pow Wows and plenty of interesting Festivals.

Welcome back, Festival Fans!

Before I tell you what’s going on this weekend, I need to advise you to always check the festival websites for updates before attending a festival. I’ve just recently heard about the wild fires in the Northwest and I cover too many states to check on a festival’s status once it’s confirmed.

Therefore, please check for any cancellations before attending – that’s why I give you their website in the listing.

Okay, the big festival states this weekend seem to be California, Colorado, New Mexico, Oregon and Washington.

Along with all the County Fairs going on, there’s a nice amount of Cultural Festivals (including Pow Wows), Art Festivals, Music Festivals and more.

Check out the Tibet Fest in Washington, the Beanstalk Music Festival in Colorado, Jerry Bash in California and the Southwest Wings Birding and Nature Festival in Arizona.

Here are more festivals you can find throughout this region this weekend…

Bisbee Pirate Weekend in Arizona
Gravenstein Apple Fair in California
The Festival Abides in California
Lafayette Peach Festival in Colorado
Moose Fest in Colorado
Leonardville Pride Hullabaloo in Kansas
Lincoln County Fair and Rodeo in Nevada
Las Fiestas de San Lorenzo in New Mexico
Chama Days in New Mexico
Kaw Nation Powwow in Oklahoma
Pirates of the Pacific Festival in Oregon
Englewood Forest Festival in Oregon
De Leon Peach and Melon Festival and Tractor Pull in Texas
Vancouver Arts and Music Festival in Washington
Lammas Lughnasadh 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.
