Western Thanksgiving Weekend Festivals: November 27-30, 2025

Thanksgiving is here, bringing Holiday Light Festivals, Tree/Downtown Lighting Festivals, Christmas Markets and more.

Welcome back, Festival Fans.

It’s Thanksgiving Weekend and I’ve added my latest Festival Guide just in time…

Please welcome the Washington Festival Guide.

This completes the new state guide for 2026, allowing me to now refocus my efforts on updating 2026 dates on all the festival guides (not a small task). I’ll be doing that behind the scenes while continuing to let you know what’s going on weekend after weekend.

Concerning this weekend, if you’re traveling for the holidays, I should have you covered since this post lists many states in this region. If you’re heading east at a greater distance, you can find links below for the Northern and Southern Regions, as well as Ohio, which I list separately.

Wherever you’ll be, you’re going to see many more Holiday Light Festivals starting up (they’ll be running through the end of the year), Tree/Downtown Lighting Festivals (I list those with vendors and live music), Christmas Markets and more.

Here are some interesting festivals going on this weekend:

Turkey Testicle Festival in Arizona
Hikari Festival of Lights in California
Dickens Street Fair in California
Estes Park Holiday Wine Festival in Colorado
Old World Christkindlmarkt in Kansas
Mamajuana Fiesta Internationale in Nevada
Las Vegas World Kite Festival in Nevada
Winter Indian Market in New Mexico
Scandinavian Christmas Goat Market in Oregon
Homestead Fair in Texas
Magic in the Market in Washington

And SO MANY MORE!

****

Have a great weekend, everyone!

If you happen to be in Ohio this weekend, check this weekend’s post at OhioFestivals.net to see what’s going on. You can find this week’s post at https://ohiofestivals.net/ohio-weekend-113025/

And here are the other two sections again…
Northern Section: https://festivalguidesandreviews.com/north-festival-weekend-113025
Southern Section: https://festivalguidesandreviews.com/south-festival-weekend-113025

Until next week…

Love, Peace and Festival Grease!
