I am (partially) vaccinated, Festival Fans!
I’m sending this list of upcoming festivals with a renewed sense of optimism, as it’s 4 days after my first vaccination shot against Covid-19. Taking such a step makes me feel so much more hopeful that I’ll actually be able to attend some festivals this year, even if later in the year, and give you some reviews to read with plenty of photos and videos. As we see increasing numbers of vaccinations in Ohio, I’m sure the governor will look at those numbers and feel more confident that festivals can start up again with less and less restrictions (of course, there will be other factors involved – I’m just speaking from the optimism at the moment). :-)
In some other states, festivals are continuing to occur. Florida is the big one again this weekend with festivals that celebrate Pirates, Manatees, Tacos, Wildflowers, Strawberries and the Native American Culture. Georgia is second, celebrating Peanuts, Pizza, Cherry Blossoms and Arts and Crafts. Tennessee offers a Chuck Wagon Cookoff and an Arts Festival and most other festivals in other states are involving freshly made Maple Syrup.
For Ohioans, this weekend involves vendor shows and the like. It’ll probably be like this for a little bit longer. Just be patient.
I hope you all have a great weekend. Starting today, I’ll quickly comb through any updates for April festivals. Hopefully, it brings about some confirmations.
Love, Peace and Funnel Cake Grease!
