The Mason Dixon Festival
Food, pageants, auctions, baking contests, historical renditions and costumes, more baking and definitely more food. That is the main attraction to the famous Mason Dixon Festival that has drawn thousands of tourists into the Morgantown area in West Virginia.
Visitors that flock the area are treated with the plethora of visual and aromatic attractions that assaults the senses. This is a time where the people in and around West Virginia participate in the parades and pageants that showcase the history and culture of Morgantown.
The pageantry alone draws people far and wide including politicians and local celebrities who would not dream of missing out on the festival. The baking competitions draw even more crowds especially as they get the chance to try out the different baked goods that the men and women of Morgantown had created exclusively for the festival.
A bonus to the whole festival is that visitors would not have to worry about costs when they reach the festival grounds, admissions are free. Even those who participate in the events do so for free and those who do sell their wares are asked to donate a prize for the door prizes.
When visitors reach the grounds, they are asked to register individually so they can all have a chance to win one of the door prizes that had been donated by the artisans and crafters in the festival.
All of the festivals are family oriented to make sure that not only the adults but also the kids can experience the festival. Kids can have a grand time participating in the activities exclusively designed for them which will give the adults the chance to explore the more interesting activities designed for them, mainly the food, the drinks, the crafts and the art. Talented amateur singers can have the chance to showcase their talents with the numerous singing competitions and the more interesting karaoke contests.
Visitors who are not from the area will not have to worry about living accommodations as there are a lot of hotels, inns, B&Bs, and motels are numerous and could hold the number of expected visitors.
