Now that summer is approaching, I hope, does anyone have any festivals going on in their area? Please give details.

Thanks goodcaringwoman for this thread, it helps me too.

Thank you and your welcome.

I love the festivals in the fall....Farmer's Pike is the opener and then end with the Covered Bridge Festival

I'm all excited about the number of blues, bluegrass and jazz festivals in the state, as well as the pow wows. I have so many booked on my calendar that my summer & fall are going to be packed, yay!

Covered Bridge Festival is a blast!! My buddy used to have a concessions trailer there, taffy, carmel corn, apples, and cotton candy. I worked there with him one year and met some really interesting people!!

I love it! My favorite place to go each year

I went to one of the Covered Bridge Festivals last year. Had a great time with my friends. We made one mistake though, we tried meeting together there, calling on our cell phones once we got there. NO RECEPTION! Try looking for someone in the that crowd, not easy to do. But we eventually met up with each other, so it all worked out. Next time we are meeting somewhere else then going there as a group.

Blueberry Festival in Plymouth, IN
Labor Day weekend

I used to go to this when it was small, in the late 80s and it was basically people selling arts/crafts. It's become so huge now that estimates have been as many as half a million go through the festival. It's elbow to elbow a lot of time and the fireworks are really decent...

I went to that one year with my middle son and his gf. I bought a carousel made out of tin. It was too big for where I wanted to put it, so I sold it in a yard sale. Made a profit too!

I had that same problem with cell phone reception there. As soon as you get to the county line north, south, and east, I got reception again!! Kinda wierd.

Blueberry Fest is great, its my kid's favorite because of the fireworks. If you ride a motorcycle, by all means ride it there. You will get to park in an area right up front, dont have to walk a mile like you do from where you will probably have to park your car!!

If you enjoy christian music check out Pulse Fest over in South Bend at LaSea Broadcasting. It will be August 8th this year.
