Are you ready for festivals, festival fans?
When compared to last weekend, the festivals numbers are dipping down slightly in preparation for the upcoming Memorial Day Weekend. In case you’re already planning for next weekend, I did create a post for the holiday weekend, offering my picks for each state, which you can find at https://ohiofestivals.net/best-memorial-day-festivals-2021/
Give it a gander and let me know what your Memorial Day Weekend festival picks are.
There are still a lot of festivals going on this weekend and plenty of great ones to mention. The warming temperatures in the north will also make these festivals more inviting.
In Ohio this weekend, there are a few market style festivals (meaning there is also entertainment and food) at the Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds in Berea, in Dayton and in Butler. There are also music festivals in Bellevue and Hamler, a wine fest in Springfield and a HorseFest in Kirtland. Cleveland’s Asian Festival will have a Virtual Version on Saturday and the Northwest Ohio Polish American Festival will be holding a Drive Up Food Version. There are even some church festivals going on in-person in Massillon and Sylvania.
In the other states, here are some of the highlights with a special mention to a Testicle Festival in Wisconsin…
Florida: Tampa Pride, South Beach Wine and Food Festival (Miami Beach)
Georgia: Yaarab Shrine Circus and Fair (Cumming), Athens Wine Weekend
Illinois: Rhubarb Festival (Kankakee), Toledo Spring Festival
Indiana: Dillsboro Homecoming Festival, Harrodsburg Heritage Days Festival
Kentucky: Kentucky Yoga Festival (Center)
Michigan: World Expo of Beer (Frankenmuth), Great Lakes Boating Festival (Grosse Pointe)
New York: Rochester Lilac Festival
Pennsylvania: Sheep and Fiber Fest (Waynesburg), Raystown Bike Fest (Hesston)
Tennessee: Blooming Onion Festival (Cleveland), Tennessee Pirate Festival (Harriman)
West Virginia: Domefest (Masontown), Farm Fest (Alderson)
Wisconsin: Dundas Testicle Festival (Kaukauna/Dundas), Wisconsin Micro-Brewers Beer Fest (Chilton)
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone! Maybe I’ll see you at the fairgrounds tomorrow!
Love, Peace and Funnel Cake Grease!
