[edit] Categories
- National: Festivals held by a nation on a designated day, which is not considered a holiday, e.g., Mardi Gras, Super Bowl Festivals / tailgate parties.
- State: Festivals held by a state on a designated day that represents an important event.
- Local: Festivals, held and recognized by a community or city, that are not recognized by the state or nation in which it's held.
- NOTE – Local festivals are common, yet are among the least known, which is why the minimum requirements (e.g., 5 years, 15,000 participants).
