Welcome to another edition of the North American Summer Festival Guide! Festival season is not far off, and many trance fans across the continent are beginning to plan out their summers. Several organizers have already announced dates and line-ups whereas others are still working out the details. I have gathered a list of festivals along with their dates, where announced, and linked back to the home page of each festival where applicable.
