Upcoming Festival Weekend: November 4-7, 2021

Craft Shows in Ohio. Festivals in Florida, Georgia and Tennessee.

Not only is the time change coming this weekend (good time to change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), but we have now entered Craft Show Season in the state of Ohio.

Along with a handful of festivals this weekend (i.e. Holiday City Wine Festival in Montpelier, St. Catharine Family Fall Festival in Columbus), there are about 80 craft shows, fairs and bazaars going on – many of them Christmas or Holiday related.

Some shopping events worth mentioning include a Christkindlmarkt in Cincinnati, the St. Bernadette Holiday Market in Westlake, the Homespun Holiday Art and Craft Show in Toledo, and the Painted Clover’s Fall Market in Bowling Green.

And if craft shows aren’t your thing (I get it – this is a festival website), then it’s time to head south to Florida, Georgia and Tennessee where you can enjoy Stone Crab festivals, Chicken Liver and Gizzard festivals (thank you, Georgia!), and various other festivals celebrating Japan, Jerk, Cannabis, Dragon Boats, Cotton Blossoms, Beer, Wine, Whiskey, Turnip Greens, Fried Pickles (thank you, Tennessee!) and more.

I, myself, am envious.

Here are some of the festivals I would check out in the other states:

Florida (54 Fests): Camelot Days Medieval Festival (Hollywood), Miami Food Festival

Georgia (50 Fests): Chicken Livers and Gizzard Festival (Broxton), Gainesville Chicken Festival

Illinois (1 Fests): Summerfield Lions Club Fall Festival

Indiana (4 Fests): Whiskey City Festival (Lawrenceburg), Hobnob Holiday Market (Lebanon)

Kentucky (4 Fests): GypsyMoon Marketplace (Bowling Green), Festival of Lights (Grand Rivers)

Michigan (0 Fests): No festivals this weekend.

New York (4 Fests): Christmas in the Country (Hamburg), French Heritage Days at Old Niagara (Youngstown)

Pennsylvania (4 Fests): Christmas in the Village (Eldersville), Clearfield Veterans Day PowWow

Tennessee (16 Fests): Cookeville Christmas Market, Memphis Japan Festival

West Virginia (1 Fests): Oglebay’s Winter Festival of Lights (Wheeling)

Wisconsin (3 Fests): Brodhead Jaycees Holiday Market

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Love, Peace and Funnel Cake Grease!
