4. Waikiki Spam Jam
April
Kalakaua Avenue, Honolulu, Hi.
Sorry, canned-meat lovers, you missed this year's fest: a kind of sprawling block party devoted to everybody's favorite processed protein. There's Spam-themed swag, performances, even dishes from restaurants adapting the stuff to dishes way beyond Spam musubi. Spamakopita anyone?
September
North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, Raleigh, N.C.
It's not every museum that can bring you into such intimate contact with its exhibits -- like, as intimate as your esophagus. One of many national entophile celebrations of the six- (and other) legged critters, this one features Café Insecta, a smorgasbord of bug treats cooked up by local restaurants: grasshopper and collard fritters, cicadas alla romana (bug-studded pizzas), and cream of asparagus and katydid soup. Katy so did not.
