Are local festivals just expensive money grabs? I spent $16 on two egg rolls at a Juneteenth festival and started questioning the price of these events.

I break down why festival pricing feels increasingly like a hustle compared to traditional experiences like the State Fair. If you are tired of overpaying for mediocre festival food, this reality check is for you.

Let me know in the comments if you think festivals are worth the hype or just overpriced traps.
