Here is a list of some of the best ones. If you know of one I missed please let me know. The festival must have musical entertainment for us to list it. All of these have great line-ups. Most include fine pipe and drum bands and dance exhibitions also. And, of course, there are great vendors and food & drink to be had at these events. Festivals are a great way to spend the day or the weekend.
