Texas SandFest

Looking to hang out at the beach? The Texas SandFest is for you, featuring an exciting competition for building a sandcastle, as well as a generally large display of sand sculptures that changes from year to year.

And if you’re just in it for the music, then head on over to Alabama for the Hangout festival, which always sees a number of prominent artists, as well as a variety of games to have fun with. Make sure to check out their selection of carefully picked beers, many of them from the local area.

National Cherry Blossom Festival

A more unusual festival, but quite the popular one nonetheless, this one is for the long-term party lovers. You can have fun for a full three weeks, with thousands of people attending on an annual basis to enjoy the aesthetic beauty of the pink cherry blossoms. Takes place in Washington, D.C.

Mississippi Coast Coliseum Crawfish Music Festival

Another event for food lovers – but still with great music – this one draws many prominent blues singers, and features a large variety of meals to tickle your taste buds. Widely regarded as one of the best festivals in the area, and perhaps in the whole US.

Kentucky Derby Festival

Do you like racing? Then the Kentucky Derby Festival is something you should not miss out on. It features several different types of races, as well as the option to climb into a hot-air balloon. Last but not least, you can enjoy some amazing firework displays, all in the heart of Kentucky.

New Orleans Wine & Food Experience

Last but not least, another great festival for lovers of wine and fine food, this one is in Louisiana. You can check out food from some of the best restaurants in the area, and experience their offers together with amazing music.

As you can see, there’s no shortage of options for those who want to explore the US and have a lot of fun while they’re at it. Just make sure you come prepared, and know exactly where and when you want to be.
