Michael Guerriero

Michael Guerriero has been dubbed "the nation's leading authority on all things celebratory" by CNN.

How did he earn this title? It's an interesting story......

The idea to write a travel guidebook to America's 101 greatest annual parties and celebrations had been on Mike's mind for years. However it took getting laid-off from a Fortune 500 pharmaceutical company before Mike turned his idea into a book.

Using his severance pay, Mike criss-crossed the country 8 times, logging 14,000 miles, while following an asphalt zig-zag to coast coast. The result is a 300 page party hopper's bible that reveals the best kept secrets of the nation's greatest annual events.

From the New Orleans Jazz Fest to The Mermaid Parade to Halloween in Athens, Ohio to The World's Largest Disco, "Party Across America" has all the tools you need to enjoy maximum fun across the U.S. on a shoestring budget.
