6. Burning Man
This festival is held in the middle of the Black Rock Desert in Nevada. It’s described as an art festival that examines various forms of artistic self-expression. There is a theme given every year and the community is encouraged to submit art to the event which can include experimental sculpture, buildings, performance, and art cars. The event is named for the symbolic burning of a wooden effigy or The Man. Attendance in the event increases yearly with 70000 tickets selling out in 2015. The event is orchestrated by a non-profit organization called the Burning Man Project. The largest burning effigy was made in 2014 and it measured in at 105 feet.
5. La Tomatina
It’s no secret that Europeans love tomatoes. They put them in almost every food that they make. La Tomatina shows that love visually in the most fun way possible. The festival is just one giant tomato fight that the entire town of Bunol in Valencia engages in. It’s been held annually on the last Wednesday of August since 1945. It’s actually a part of a whole week of festivities but, La Tomatina is definitely the highlight. It’s not clear how the tradition started but, the event has been fun enough that it has been done year after year. One of the rules is that you have to squash the tomatoes before you throw them so no one is being hit with a underripe tomato. There is also an entry fee now because of the popularity of the event and so that they can control the number of people coming so they can ensure the safety of participants. It’s estimated that nearly 320,000 pounds of tomatoes are used every year.
4. Mohacsi Busojaras
This festival takes place in Hungary in the town of Mohacs. It’s held at the end of Carnival to the day before Ash Wednesday. The festival sees hundreds of people dressed as Busos which are traditional Hungary masks. The festival has folk music, masquerading, parades, and dancing. There are two legends about how this festival started. One states that the weapons that the costumed Busos carry was once used to scare off occupying Turks so that they could take back their town. That legend is the most popular. The second legend says that their masks aren’t used to scare off the Turks but, to scare off winter itself.
3. Rouketopolemos Rocket War
This visually stunning event happens every year on Easter in the Greek town of Vrontados. The event arose thanks to the greek tradition of throwing fireworks at midnight before Easter Sunday. There are two churches in Vrontados and the locals from each church fire rockets up to 1300 feet away at their rival church in an attempt to hit the church's bell. The rockets are homemade and they are made of an explosive mixture containing gunpowder. All of the buildings are boarded up with metal sheets and mesh to protect against the rockets. Every year it is said that each church counts the number of times that the bell at the top of their bell tower was rung and they determine a winner on Easter Day. They’ve never actually had a winner. So the event will continue to happen year after year. They are not sure how this tradition started but, locals say it goes back to the Ottoman era when they used real cannons.
2. Mardi Gras
This festival is actually a part of Carnival but, let’s not be mistaken, when someone talks about Mardi Gras, the festival in New Orleans is its very own holiday. The holiday that encourages debauchery is the perfect fit for the city that is synonymous with it. Mardi Gras isn’t celebrated throughout the United States because, the country doesn’t have a large Catholic populous but, the Mardi Gras in New Orleans is a result of its French roots. The first Mardi Gras in New Orleans happened in 1699 and the place that it was held has since been named Point du Mardi Gras or Mardi Gras Point in English. There are other Mardi Gras parties across the world but, they don’t hold a candle to the New Orleans staple.
1.Holi Festival of Colors
Holi is a spring festival that started in India and Nepal but has spread in popularity to other parts of the world. The festival is actually an ancient Hindu festival that has quite a bit of significance within the Hindu religion. In parts of Asia and North America, the Hindu meaning has been taken out of the festival and instead it is meant to represent love, frolic, and colors. Traditional Holi starts with religious rituals done in front of a bonfire. It’s a two-day festival starting with Holika Dahan or Chhoti Holi and then the second day is Rangwali Holi. The participants in the festival carry dried color powder and colored water and anyone in attendance is fair game. There are also groups that carry drums and other musical instruments and go around the crowd to sing and dance. The festival is meant to signify the victory of good over evil.
