Here at Top Events USA we know it is difficult and even unfair to pick only a few top events and festivals for each state. Most destinations in the USA offer a wide range of exciting and noteworthy events, some more famous than others, some with a larger budget and a higher profile, and some of them deliberately small and oriented to the local communities.


Top Events USA BLOG

In the Top Events USA Blog there is a regular update of all the latest news and suprises for those interested in the gop evengs and festivals across the USA.

State Events

In the state events section you will find lists of the top events and festivals for each state, from Alabama to Wyoming.

Event Themes

In the event themes section you can browse the top events and festivals across the country by category, from arts and crafts fairs to winter sports including everything from cultural events and historical celebrations to fun parades and even a focus on the most unusual events in the country like the ever popular Groundhog Day in Pennsylvania when Punxsutawney Phil, a groundhog, comes out of his burrow to predict the weather for the rest of winter. Tradition has it that if Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter weather. If he does not see his shadow, there will be an early spring.

Top 20 Events

Our top 20 list features the top twenty events in the country, from the famous Rose Parade in Pasadena, to the largest independent cinema festival in the US, the Sundance Film Festival, and includes such notables as the New Orleans’ Mardi Gras, the Iowa State Fair, featured in the New York Times’ "1000 Places to See Before You Die" as one of the world's must-see events, and the Fourth of July Celebration at the Hatch Shell in Boston, Massachusetts.
