Seriously, if you look at the 2015 festival calendar below, they\u2019re pretty much all in the South!<\/p>\n<p>I understand why, of course. Watermelon is grown primarily in the southern United States, and it has a longstanding history below the Mason-Dixon line. But there are plenty of watermelon lovers in the North, too, including yours truly. Maybe I\u2019ll do my best to create a watermelon festival here in Pennsylvania next year. I can\u2019t promise that it\u2019ll be nearly as grand as something like the Luling Watermelon Thump, but every great festival has to start somewhere, right?<\/p>\n<p>Below is a list of some of those notable watermelon festivals happening this year. As always, this list isn\u2019t a <em>complete <\/em>listing of festivals.
