About The American Festivals Project


The American Festivals Project explores America’s variety of small-town festivals, with the aim of discovering a rich diversity of culture that has in part remained hidden. Traveling in a Waste Vegetable Oil-powered truck, and living in a 1964 truck camper, Ross McDermott and Andrew Owen are covering over one year of unique festival life from forty-nine of America’s states.

The project is partially funded by a National Geographic Young Explorer’s Grant.
