I wanted to put together a 50-question festival quiz. If, like me, you join quizzes and don’t know any of the answers, BUT you know your festivals, then this could be the quiz for you. 

Festival trivia lovers unite!

Whether you go to every festival you can, or you’ve marked up a few, and just remember the good times. Festival fans have had it rough since March 2020.

Let’s keep our love for festivals alive though, with these festival questions, and a festival picture quiz round too. Get your team together and make it a festival night. I mean, we’ve got a long summer ahead! 

There are five rounds to this festival themed quiz:

Share your scores for the festival trivia at the bottom of the post!

Good luck.

Promise yourself a festival ticket if you get 50/50!
