Speaking of celebration, festivals have a lot to offer. Here we uncover some festivals across the globe.
Holi Festival — India — February — March
A rainbow of colour and Hindu traditions combine to create this celebration of love, springtime fun and the victory of good over evil. Kicking off with a night-time bonfire where people gather, sing and dance, the next day is a carnival of colors where everyone has fun throwing color powder, squirting (喷射) water guns and coloured water-filled balloons. A great number of people are infected by its playful and childlike atmosphere.
La Tomatina — Buñol, Spain — August
Tomato fiends get their fill on the last Wednesday of August as over 100,000 kg of tomatoes are thrown and squished(压烂) in the town square. It’s the highlight of a week-long celebration of Buñol’s patron saint, which leaves the town in a bright red like a horror film scene. We don’t envy whoever has to clean up that mess!
Dia De Los Muertos — Mexico — October — November
Translated to ‘Day of the Dead’, this seemingly scary festival is a day to celebrate and remember those who have passed away with parades, costumes and paper decorations. It is believed that the spirits of the dead visit their families on October 31 and leave on November 2, so many spend this time visiting cemeteries – where there is often music and dances to honour the spirits.
