The Family Destinations Guide surveyed 3000 families to find their favorite Summer events and they just released the list.  This is a great resource to find other out of state events you might want to travel out of state to as well.

I feel like Hawaii shouldn't be able to be a part of these rankings.  I mean c'mon, it's Hawaii!  Well, of course it is a Hawaii event that made #1 and I completely get it.  The Aloha Festivals was at the top of the list:

The Aloha Festivals in Hawaii is an annual cultural celebration showcasing the vibrant traditions and customs of the Hawaiian Islands. It features colorful parades, lively music and dance performances, art exhibits, and culinary experiences, creating a joyful atmosphere that honors and shares the spirit of aloha with locals and visitors alike.

Hopefully this list will help you and the family have a great Summer.
