Most festivals were canceled last year due toCOVID-19, so expect extra jubilation now that they’re back.
Here are inviting options to suit various interests.
Not to be missed: The Running of the Wieners, featuring dachshunds sandwiched between large buns.
Pumpkins will depict artists, instruments and music genres as a soundtrack plays.
The adventurous get a bird’s-eye view of the display on a zip line.
Event tickets must be bought in advance online.
Photographers love the 7 a.m. mass ascensions and evening balloon glows, with tethered aircraft lighted from inside.
Days end with fireworks.
Scope out team skydiving, chainsaw carving exhibitions and musical acts.
Or book a ride in a balloon.
