Festive?
I'm no expert, but maybe the Festive Tiger Beetle Cicindela scutellaris. Plate 11, A Field Guide to the Tiger Beetles of the United States.
Said to be highly variable with a confusing array of intergrade populations.
If you can get a photo of the face, you can determine the sex.

Nice photo!
