There are a lot of offbeat or unconventional festivals, around the country, that I would like to attend. Some are near Amtrak stations or depots while others would require a rental car and possibly 2-4 hours of driving.
Duct Tape Festival, Avon Ohio. Not far from Cleveland:

Chicken Show in Wayne, Nebraska. Amtrak Hastings stop the nearest.

Amtrak Mooning festival in Laguna Niguel, Calif

Texas Mosquito Festival, Clute, Texas. Nearest stop woud be San Antonio on the Sunset or Heartland Flyer.

Cow Chip Throw in Prairie de Sac, Wisconsin. Not far from Portage or Madison:

DB Cooper Days in Ariel, Washington. Cooper was the guy who stole some money, hijacked a plane, and parachuted to the ground near Ariel, Wash. (they think).

Billy Barker Days, in Quesnel, BC. The Rocky Mountaineer stops in Quesnel during their "Rainforest to Gold Rush" tour.
