Caveats:

• If you know of a fest that is not on this calendar that meets the distance criteria please forward information to our Web Administrator for possible inclusion in future updates.  Comments either good or bad on any listed hamfest are also welcome.
• We don't hold these fests, we just pass on the info, which comes from many, many sources.  If we have published inaccurate information on this list, please bring it to our attention.  Remember that hamfest committees change their minds from year-to-year, and we don't always hear about it until a few days before the fest, or worse yet, while driving to the fest at 6:15 a.m.

Type Key:

* = ARRL Convention
** = ARRL Convention pending Executive Committee approval
+ = ARRL Hamfest
x = non-ARRL Hamfest
