And look, they're all food! Oh, how could I forget my very favorite: The Arts Festival, in June, right around my birthday. Lots of gorgeous stuff that I can't afford, and of course, more FOOD. Some other ones near me are: Apple Festival~Sidney Oh Strawberry Festival~troy oh Pumpkin Festival~Bradford Ohio Pioneer Days~Piqua Ohio |

What wacky festivals do you have in your area????? Here is a link to it. http://haywardzucchini.org/default.aspx |
Watermelon festival in Tompkinsville, KY!
|
Apple Dumpling Festival seven miles south of us, but I do not dare go as the dumpling and home made icecream would not do my WW any good.
|
The Pineapple Festival in Yeppoon - about 40 kms away
|
We have the Popcorn Festival in honor of the late Orville
Redenbacher. Our town is famous for it. LOL Last week there was actually a Jeopardy question about it. |
In central PA, the town of Dillsburg has a Pickle Fest in the spring. Now understand, the town is in no way related to dill pickles, but they adopted the dill pickle as a town mascot. The PickleFest is an arts & crafts fair, pickle-eating contest (and there's other food as well) and a 5K pickle chase. http://carrollcitizens.com/PickleFest.html
And on New Year's Eve, when some people are watching the ball drop in Times Square, Dillsburg has its very own Pickle Drop! It's a nice little town. Gotta love Dillsburg! They actually have a pickle statue... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In Philadelphia, in the weeks before Christmas, the somewhat historic neighborhood of Chestnut Hill has Stag 'n' Doe Nights once a week. The shops stay open late and often have free samples and demos. The idea is for couples to walk up and down the main drag, eat, shop, and socialize. |
I'm surprised that Camilla, GA is the only one with a gnat festival. I grew up in Thomasville, and we had a bunch of those!

The craziest festivals I've ever heard of are both in Colorado. There's the frozen dead guy festival and there's the headless chicken festival.
