In conclusion
How was it?
As temperatures drop in the coming season, I hope this serves as a helpful reference for those looking for indoor festivals that can be enjoyed regardless of the weather.
That said, you can’t avoid spending time outdoors—like on the way there and back or while waiting to get in—so I recommend wearing layers you can easily put on and take off.
Even if the season turns cold, the festival stays hot!
Let's enjoy plenty of festivals this fall and winter, too!
