festivals

The calendar is packed with huge festivals and celebrations in Illinois this year.

The inaugural Boots on the Bend music festival is coming to South Bend, Indiana in August. Headliners include Eric Church, Hardy, and Brandon Lake. Get your general admission tickets today.

The World Chicken Festival in eastern Kentucky will satisfy a certain craving AND give you an opportunity to see the world's largest stainless steel skillet.

The oldest festival in Kentucky has its origins at the beginning of the 1800s. (I don't think they had funnel cakes back then, though.)

The Petersburg Buffalo Trace Festival is set for October 10–12, and organizers are bringing some phenomenal country artists to the Main Street stage.

Fans of Mac and Cheese will be able to get their fill of cheesy goodness, craft beer, live music, and more at Indiana's new Mac and Cheese Festival.

Seems like a great time... until you can't find your way out at the end of the night.

The 2nd Annual Shawnee Sasquatch Festival returns to Southern Illinois in 2022.

There's no telling how many different potato dishes you'll encounter at the Potatoes N' Such Potato Festival in Dayton, Ohio this summer.

It's a three-day Louisville festival that seems to play like a fall version of the state fair.

I love zoos. Sometimes I'll go because there's one particular species I want to see (come for the gorillas, stay for the elephants). Throw in a cool lantern festival, and I am there.

Keeneland in Lexington is using the term as a launching pad for its first ever big music festival to be held on the grounds. Just who is going to be there?
