Upcoming Western Festival Weekend: November 20-23, 2025

Oregon has been added, plus all sorts of great festivals (UFO, Sweet Potato, Pecan, etc.) this weekend.

Welcome back, Festival Fans.

Since we’ve last talked, I’ve added yet another state to the Festival Guides and Reviews website…

Please welcome the Oregon Festival Guide.

I’m currently working on Washington State’s Festival Guide and it is almost done with over 1000 festivals. I am listing this weekend’s festivals in this week’s post and will be making the guide accessible very soon.

Once I am done with Washington, I will start to update listings for December and get all that ready. Then I’ll be updating festivals for 2026.

In regards to this weekend, you have even more Holiday Light Festivals starting up as we approach Thanksgiving (next weekend – WOW!) and they will mostly be running into the Christmas Holiday or into the New Year.

For those states with warmer climates, you will find even more festivals with non-Christmas themes, whether they are Culture Fests, Music Fests, Renaissance/Medieval Festivals or Food Festivals.

Here are some interesting festivals going on this weekend:

Highland Vista Porch Fest in Arizona
Hot Air Balloon Festival and Food Truck Fiesta in California
Mushroom Fair in California
Celebrations Around the World in Colorado
Sweet Potato Festival in Kansas
Mamajuana Fiesta Internationale in Nevada
Holo Holo Music Festival in Nevada
Newveau Festival in Oregon
Edinburg UFO Festival in Texas
Richmond Pecan Harvest Festival in Texas

And SO MANY MORE!

****

Have a great weekend, everyone!
