Words by Brandon Bader<\/span><\/em> Father\u2019s Day and the Summer Solstice. June isn\u2019t home to a ton of holidays, but no worries <\/span>\u2014<\/span> each of the Midwest states has everyone covered with an event that is sure to add a spark to the month. With ten more festivals, options are there for everyone looking to take a trip or to experience a local thrill. The best part is that even after this month, there are still two months left of summer.<\/span><\/p>\n June 7-10 | Fargo, ND<\/span><\/p>\n If there\u2019s meat, music and games, it\u2019s Ribfest. Once again making its home in Fargo, Ribfest gathers some of the best cooks in the region to serve up slabs of their original recipes. Specials are happening each day to make every moment unexpected. Live music will be performed every night and since it\u2019s right in the heart of a college town, the atmosphere will be unlike any other. <\/span><\/p>\n\n June 8-11| Cave-In-Rock, IL<\/span><\/p>\n The best adults only party in the USA is coming back for year 21. But for this party, you don\u2019t have to be 21. Anyone 18 or older is allowed, and there it is an endless brigade of games and music. With an oil wrestling pit, beer belly Hoola-Hooping and helicopter rides, this festival will have frills, thrills and a good time if you can make it through a wild three days.<\/span><\/p>\n\n June 9-10 | Indianapolis, IN<\/span><\/p>\n Homemade spaghetti sauce, pizza, cannoli and cheesecake. The taste of Italy comes to the city when Holy Rosary puts on its annual two-day event. With three bands playing during the evening festivities, the headlining Indy Nile Band will close out the weekend. The main attraction, aside from the food, is the Ferris Wheel, which has a view of the Indianapolis skyline from the very top.<\/span><\/p>\n\n June 9-11 | Strawberry Point, IA<\/p>\n
