I’m pretty generous with my interpretation of what counts as a festival. If it’s spring-y and seems like it will be enjoyable, it’s listed.
Some dates and details are yet to be announced, but I’ll be updating this list as Spring advances.
*FREE – As you know, this is a priority for me when sharing things to do. An asterik means the event is free to attend.
