Festivals
Puerto Rico's capital offers lots of festivals—both traditional and non-traditional—all year long.
Exploring Puerto Rico
Motor City Madness
Music and cars shape many of Detroit's top attractions, from The Henry Ford museum to the Detroit International Jazz Festival.
Charleston Festivals
Whether its Civil War reenactments or reggae music, arts or oysters, festival-mad Charleston keeps finding new ways to celebrate.
A Little Bit Country
Started in 1972, Fan Fair evolved from a down-home meet-and-greet to large scale musical theater, with loyal country music fans lining up for hours to meet their favorite country crooners.
A Fair to Remember
October's Texas State Fair is a slice of classic Americana, with live music, the country’s tallest Ferris wheel, and endless fair food (corny dogs and fried Twinkies!).
Southwestern Festivals
From Albuquerque's annual balloon fiesta to the New Mexico Wine Festival, there's never a dull moment.
Utah's Sounds of Summer
Bluegrass, folk, jazz, classical, and even opera—Utah's popular summer music festivals offer a little something for everyone.
Festival Time!
Festivals are common in Oaxaca. One event not to miss is July's Lunes del Cerro festival, known in pre-Hispanic times as the Guelaguetza.
Treasures of Old Mexico
Oaxaca's true wealth can be found in its traditions-- which you can experience in its festivals, historic churches, pilgrimage shrines, markets, and archaeological sites.
All Saints’ Day in Todos Santos
If you’re in Todos Santos Cuchumatán in early November, don't miss this annual three-day festival.
