The Daytona Beach area is known around the world for its award-winning springtime festival season, but did you know that the latter part of the year is also loaded with festival fun? We’re calling it Festival Season 2.0, since practically every weekend from Labor Day through New Year’s Eve features a fun festival or event in the Daytona Beach area – and on some weekends, two or more!
