Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta
For this nine-day celebration in October in Albuquerque, hundreds of balloons take to the air. The enormous launch location attracts both children and adults because of its festival-like atmosphere and the breathtaking spectacle of watching innumerable floating balloons of all different forms, sizes, and colors light up the desert sky.
Yi Peng Lantern Festival
During the Yi Peng Lantern Festival, thousands of lanterns are launched throughout the city, lighting up the night sky in Chiang Mai. This three-day event is frequently held in conjunction with Loy Krathong and takes place on the evening of the full moon in the 12th month of the Thai lunar calendar (typically November). It includes parades, marketplaces, candle lightings, and other festivities.
The Fuji Shibazakura Festival
At the foot of Mount Fuji in Japan, hundreds of thousands of Shibazakura blossoms bloom during this springtime floral spectacle. You’ll want to bring your flower power women if you want to get the most out of your visit to these colorful blooms.
Holi Festival of Color
Holi, a Hindu festival marking the victory of good over evil and the start of spring, is becoming popular outside of India as a reason to fling colored powder around. In fact, there might be a Holi Fest nearby if you reside in Boston, Houston, Chicago, or any of the other major American cities.
Dia De Los Muertos
At the heart of this Mexican custom is honoring the lives of departed loved ones. But, the vibrant, marigold-filled altars and flower displays at gravesides, together with the parades and Aztec rites that are supposed to reanimate the spirits for the day, don’t feel depressing at all. On November 2, Da de los Muertos, relatives and friends come together in large numbers, with many wearing traditional skeleton makeup and vibrant costumes.
La Tomatina
On the final Wednesday in August, if you’re in the Valencian village of Buol, keep an eye out for flying tomatoes. Since 1945, the city has hosted a wild tomato-throwing festival that exists solely for amusement. Now is your chance to finally throw a few smashed tomatoes at your obnoxious traveling companions.
The Jaisalmer Desert Festival
To celebrate the Jaisalmer Desert Festival, people make group trips to the Thar Desert in the Sam Sand Dunes three days before to the February full moon. Over the course of three days, performances, folk music, and stories passed down from generation to generation bring the lonely desert terrain to life.
Songkran Water Festival
The biggest water fights you’ve ever seen take place during the Thai New Year festival, which happens in mid-April. On the streets, people practically throw buckets of water at each other as they take aim at their merry-making friends.
