8 Fun Family Festivals

Support your local community and have fun with the whole family. Here are eight festivals across the U.S. that offer tons of activities and events for the whole gang.

Maine Lobster Festival, Rockland, Maine

The lobster crate race across the Atlantic's icy waters has a more refreshing finish but you can also participate in the Sunday morning 10K or the kids' fun run. Other events include cooking contests, arts and crafts, a parade, musical entertainment and all the lobster you can eat.

Georgia Peach Festival, Byron, Georgia

Honor Georgia's peach growers at the Georgia Peach Festival. Sign up for the 5K road race then indulge in the world's largest peach cobbler, with a side of peach ice cream of course. Weekend events include free concerts and a fireworks show.

Three Disciplines Triathlon Festival, East Tawas, Michigan

Celebrate the end of race season with a half-iron distance triathlon, then relax at the post-race beach party. Enjoy music, movies, Marshmallow roasting, beach volleyball and more.

We never had the opportunity to attend a fun family festival. We spent a couple of decades family camping, and had a lot of fun doing it, but not at one of these. It sounds as though we missed out on something. Occasionally, we have our grandchildren with us these days, so this can be something that we put on our calendar as we find them. Then off we go to this new adventure.

Thanks for the blog - this is great information.
