From the giants you already know to the ones you absolutely should — and a few that have no business existing but are completely wonderful — Jeremy and Amy take you through America’s most extraordinary festivals worth building a trip around.

Texas State Fair, Coachella, Burning Man get their moment, then the show goes deeper: BottleRock Napa Valley, the Poteet Strawberry Festival, Southern Smoke in Houston, Jazz Fest in New Orleans, the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, SXSW, and more.

Plus — the Only-in-America Weird tier: Roswell’s UFO Festival, Frozen Dead Guy Days in Colorado, the Great Fruitcake Toss, and West Virginia’s Mothman Festival. America does festivals like nobody else. This is proof.

Jeremy Long The Unscaled Travel Show

Unscaled is more than just a travel show. From visiting their favorite local hotspots in Las Vegas to eating octopus in Osaka, Unscaled is a show designed to make you curious about the world around you and laugh out loud at the mistakes made along the way.

Through their experiences, travel writer Jeremy Long and his co-explorer, Amy, have learned to appreciate the simple things in life, like a comfortable mattress and indoor plumbing.

Each episode is packed with helpful travel tips, recommendations, and an introduction to your new favorite destination from travel industry insiders and influencers. They hope that by sharing their stories (and sometimes failures), they can inspire others to get out and explore the world.
