Upcoming Western Festival Weekend: August 20-23, 2026

Cultural Festivals, Street Fairs, Summer Fests, and more.

Welcome back, Festival Fans!

I feel that numbers are going down a little bit for these next two weeks as we enter that Back to School Period until Labor Day Weekend.

Fortunately, there are still many interesting festivals to check out this weekend, even with the lower numbers.

You’ll find Rodeos, Market Festivals, Music Festivals of all types and plenty of Food Festivals. Even a good deal of Wine and Beer Festivals.

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

Sake Fest in Arizona
King Tut Festival in California
San Diego Taiwan Festival in California
Olathe Sweet Corn Festival in Colorado
Fort Collins Artisan Street Fair in Colorado
Miltonvale Tootlefest in Kansas
Bowers Bluegrass Festival in Nevada
Pirate Viking Summer Festival in New Mexico
Elephant Butte Balloon Regatta in New Mexico
Muskogee Hot Air Balloon Festival in Oklahoma
Oregon Aloha Festival in Oregon
Italian Festival of Portland in Oregon
Austin Pride Festival and Parade in Texas
Washington State Garlic Fest in Washington
Squirrel Fest 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.
