Despite the fact that school is back in session there are still festivals to check out!

In fact, there's a festival the honors just watermelons in the small town of Kellogg, MN. Seriously, it's the Watermelon Festival and it's coming up this weekend, the 7th through the 9th!

There are so many things to do at this festival: parade, softball tournament, a ventriloquist show, helicopter rides, a beer crawl, and that's not all! There's also tons of stuff for the kids to do and of course, you need to eat as much watermelon as humanly possible. It is the Watermelon Festival after all.

You can take a look at all of the events they have planned for the festival HERE!

They also have royalty, because no festival would be complete without royalty! You can meet the 2018 Miss Kellogg candidates HERE!

Even though the population of Kellogg is under 500, the entire community comes together to put on this amazing festival.
