 Spain is famous worldwide for its colorful and vibrant festivals that fill up its yearlong calendar. Almost every night a city or a small "pueblo" is alive with the people's cheers and the explosion of fireworks that lit up the sky. If it's not where you stay, the fiesta is definitely somewhere else across the Iberian region.
The festival of San Juan is among the most popular celebrations in Spain. The event takes place between June 20-24 and consists of a great party of music, dancing, fireworks, and the symbolic bonfires. Most of the rituals during the festivity of San Juan are said to be pagan in origin and most of which preceded the earliest Christian celebrations in the country.
"La Noche de San Juan" (the night of St. John), which takes place on June 23, the shortest night in the northern hemisphere symbolizes to triumph of light over darkness. The rituals held during this night are basically rooted on 3 elements: sun, fire, and water. According to ancient legend, the bonfires lit during this night can cleanse both the body and soul. They say that one can transform a bad year into a good one by jumping over the bonfire three times or more.

If you're going to talk about music festivals, there's no way the Woodstock festival can't be mentioned. The Woodstock Music and Art Festival is regarded by many as the most famous and biggest rock festival to ever be held in history. It represented the counterculture of the 60's and the peak of the hippie era. The rock festival was name Woodstock because it was originally planned to be held in the town of Woodstock in Ulster County. The town didn't have any place to accommodate such a big event and it was almost cancelled. Sam Yasgur urged his father to permit the event to be held in their alfalfa field in Sullivan County. It was estimated that 500,000 people would attend the event, however the attendees exceeded the estimated number.
Woodstock is known for three days of non-stop music performances by many of the famous musical figures of the generation. Originally, it was promoted as three days of peace and music in 1969 but in 1999, it seemed that it became more of a commercial festival. A lot of musicians and fans alike frowned upon the events that took place in the latest Woodstock Festival. The price of the ticket for the festival is 150 and the prices of food are costly as well.
Concertgoers were forbidden to bring their own food and water which forced them to purchase inside. The poor sanitation, lack of food and water and an 88 degree heat became the ingredients to a volatile event. Violence ensued during the last part of the Woodstock when the Red Hot Chili Peppers attempted to perform Jimi Hendrix's "Fire". Candles were passed around to the crowd but it was used to light up bon fires. Riot ensued and two ATM's were tipped over and destroyed.

The Holy Week is the highlight of the Lenten season observed by Catholics around the world. The meaningful weeklong celebration commemorates the paschal mystery (passion, death, and resurrection) of Jesus Christ and reaches its peak during Easter Sunday. Rather than the usual festival, the Holy Week is actually a more profound and spiritual occasion where in Catholics around the world become one in reflecting the significance of the paschal mystery in their lives.
Needless to say, the Holy Week still takes the form of a popular festival due to the processions and other practices that has continued to attract Catholics as well as tourists. The best and most beautiful Holy Week celebrations are witnessed in Spain particularly in Seville, Malaga, Granada, Valladolid, Murcia, and Cartagena. During the Semana Santa thousands of local people as well as foreigners flock the "calles" in order to witness and participate in the religious celebration.
The Seville, with its splendid processions and realistic representations of Jesus' passion, death, and resurrection, is the epitome of a Spanish Semana Santa. During the week long celebration, life- sized sculptures depicting the paschal mystery are paraded all throughout the "calles." Aside from those images, the "coffradias" that manage the processions are also among the main attractions of the Semana Santa in Seville.

 The Lemon Festival is considered as the 2nd grandest event in the French Riviera next to the Carnival of Nice and before Monaco's formula 1 Grand Prix. The colorful festival is attended by around by hundreds of thousands of visitors. Yet their number is continuously rising every year as the celebration introduces more fun special attractions.
The Lemon Festival is one of a kind. Although the parades follow the traditional Carnival, what makes them unique and original is the use of citrus fruits in creating the best and most lovely float designs. In fact, the event has gained more popularity worldwide for exhibiting floats that themed after famous fairytales including those of Disney.
The Lemon Festival is celebrated in Menton, which is also called as "La Cite des Citrons." The city, known for producing quality lemon fruits, plays a key role in the entire region's cultivation of citrus fruits. The festival is said to have begun in the 1930's.

If religious festivals celebrate and venerate holy religious relics, secular festivals glorify human achievements. Some of the secular festivals celebrate historic events such as revolutions. Secular festivals also celebrate the life and achievements of great men such as composers, conquerors, and scientists. The great thing that I enjoy about secular festivals is the freedom to express yourself to be creative. Musical festivals, for instance, create a venue for musicians to showcase their talents.
If you are a science buff like me, you will indeed be interested in attending a science festival. When I was studying in Britain, I attended the Edinburgh Science Festival. Although I was not a direct participant, I was one of those curious students. The science exhibits by some students were pretty much the routine basic science projects that cover electronics, chemistry, physics, and biology.
However, there were some very impressive projects that may someday become part of mainstream technology. Aside from the entry exhibits, there were lectures and science demonstrations about everyday phenomenon. The Edinburgh Science Festival is not intended for the scientists, but rather it is intended for the common people who have very little background in science.

Italy is famous not only for its grand architecture. Italy is also famous for the churches housing holy Christian relics. Although the historical validity of these relics is still questionable, people believe that these relics are sacred and miraculous. Many churches in Italy are proud to own a portion of vestment or bones of a particular saint. Some churches even claim to possess the actual blood of Christ. Italy is predominantly Catholic. Hence, it is not surprising why many of its festivals are religiously motivated.
One of the most important religious and historic festivals in Italy is Pentecost Celebration. The Day of Pentecost is a Christian celebration with Jewish background. Pentecost celebration is actually derived from the Jewish Shavuot festival. The day of the Pentecost is the commemoration of the bestowing of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other early Christian contemporaries of the Apostles.
The celebration of the Pentecost is held every fiftieth day after Easter. The whole account of the Pentecost can be found in the book of Acts in the New Testament. This year’s celebration of the Pentecost in Rome will be held on June 5th to 9th.

 Catholic Italy does not have the monopoly of religious festivals in Europe. Historic Scandinivian countries such as Norway have their own particular brand of religious festivals. If Great Britain has Saint George, Norway has Saint Olav. Saint Olav was actually a warrior monarch of Norway who was converted to Christianity.
There are few historical records about this king-saint. Some records portray him as a brutal king who only used Christianity for selfish reasons in enhancing his political career. However, some documents recount his martyrdom and piety.
The festival of St. Olav is both a cultural and religious event held in Trondheim, Norway, every July 29. The celebration lasts for more than one week. The festival is comprised of at least 150 events that include recitals, opera, fair, exhibits, pilgrimage, lectures, and activities for children. The events are held in the public arenas. However, the main arenas are located in the Nidanos cathedral and the palace of the Archbishop. The festival is a traditional commemoration of the life and death of St. Olav. Its colorful events attract tourists and pilgrims every year. Last year’s celebration set a record of 300 events.

 The traditions of the Holy Roman Apostolic and Catholic Church are the conglomeration of ancient pagan rituals and Christian faith. One pagan practice incorporated in the faith is the veneration of relics, statues, and images. The hierarchy of the clergy is also patterned on the bureaucratic organizational structure of the ancient Roman Empire.
One of the titles of the pope is Pontifex Maximus, the highest priesthood office of ancient Rome. The Roman emperor later adopted this title. Most Catholic festivals are also held to replace the former pagan festivals.
The celebration of Christmas, for instance, in December 25 is actually the former pagan festival of the Roman sun god, Mithra. Christmas celebration around the world is heavily influenced by Italian religious traditions. Italians open their gifts on the morning of Christmas, just after eating their lunch. The children, on the other hand, receive a stocking full of candies during the celebration of the Epiphany, which is celebrated on January 6 as an extension of Christmas. However, the Italian gift-giver is not Santa Claus, but a kind witch named La Befana. Meanwhile, in other regions, Santa Lucia is the bringer of gifts.

 All Catholics all over the world commemorated the Passion of Christ during the holy week. This is the Lent season's last week. The Catholic Church's influence marked and will continue to shape our ever-changing world history.
The reason why Catholics celebrate the holy week is to relive, reenact, and take part in the sufferings of the Lord. The theme and the mode of celebration are usually similar for both the eastern and western churches except for certain days because the eastern believers utilize the Julian Calendar. What counts a lot is the memory and the sacrifices that the Lord has made in order to save mankind from the fires of hell.
The holy week is religiously celebrated especially in predominantly Catholic countries like beautiful Spain, Italy, and the Philippines. The celebration starts on Holy Monday, followed by the Holy Tuesday and Wednesday. Holy Thursday is the communion's institution and Judas' betrayal of Jesus. Good Friday is the suffering, the death, and the burial of the Lord. The Holy Saturday is called Sabbath day because Jesus took a rest in his tomb. Then, the Eastern Sunday is the resurrection of the Lord.

 If an event is happening in the historic Cologne City, it has to be on a grand scale. The spirit of cooperation among the citizens of Cologne is the main reason for the colorful and fabulous festivities. The festivals of Cologne have both religious and historical implications.
The people of Cologne have always been vivacious even during ancient Roman times. Cologne became part of the Roman territories in the year 50 A.D. The city became a Christian diocese as early as 313 A.D. when a bishop of Cologne was elected.
The Cologne Carnival is held annually every November. Street parties and fairs highlight the carnival festivities. This carnival can be traced back to the Middle Ages when it was celebrated as a harvest festivity. During the week-long celebration, the people of Cologne act out their craziest antics. Some even assume different identities. The carnival is officially opened each year on the 11th day of the 11th month. The prelude activities to the climax of the carnival include procession of different colorful floats, representing the various schools and city boroughs. The kilometer-long parade also includes giant puppets and effigies.

Boston, Massachusetts is celebrating the yearly New England Folk Festival, a festival for traditional music and dance. A lot of volunteered individuals perform in the festival, and participated with people who love to dance, sing, jam, and do other exciting festival activities. Mary Gillete spearheaded a vision that the dance, crafts and songs of ethnic groups of New England can be shared and be presented for some audience.
In 1944, Mary Gillette, Ralph Page and Grace Palmer were the parents of the concept. A simple chat at Boston YWCA was resulted to a big folk festival. This idea became an interest of many, until Philip Sharples, founder of Belmont Country Dance Group, tied-up with Mary and Ralph to call other leaders to discuss the idea over. A lot of recreation organizations and some ethnic group representatives were sent to discuss further the concept for more vivid vision.
The committee decided to retain the atmosphere of a non-commercialism fair with high standard of authencity and quality performance. The opening festival was held on October 28 to 29, 1944; attended by some 200 people.

The famous German composer, Ludwig van Beethoven, established his musical career in Vienna, Austria, but he was born in Bonn, Germany. This is not surprising considering that Vienna was a center of the musical arts in the European continent. Nonetheless, the formative childhood years of Ludwig were spent in Bonn. His father was his first piano teacher. The ambition of his father was to develop Ludwig’s talent as a musical prodigy. Ludwig gave his first public performance in Bonn when he was just eight years old. It was his first step to worldwide fame.
Today, the city of Bonn honors Beethoven by the yearly Beethoven Festival. The festival can actually be traced back as far as 1845. The first music festival in honor of Beethoven was three-day event that took place during the inauguration of monument on his 75th birthday. However, the modern Beethoven Festival started in 1998 when the Internationale Beethovenfeste Bonn GmbH was founded.
Since then, approximately 50 annual concert performances are rendered by international orchestras. Quartets and soloists also perform in the annual festival. New compositions are also played in the festival.

 Barcelona is one of the historic Spanish cities with rich culture. The origin of Barcelona can be traced back as far as 230 B.C. with a settlement founded by the Carthaginians. The city has been invaded by different cultures such as the Visigoths and the Muslims.
However, the dominant people in Barcelona are the Catalans. The Catalans are the direct descendants of the French who invaded the city in the year 801 A.D. Hence, the closest linguistic relative of the Catalan language is the old language used in southern France.
Although Barcelona City was once ruled by the Muslims, the city is still dominantly Catholic. Roman Catholic traditions are deeply rooted in its festival celebrations. One of the most popular festivals in Barcelona is the Fiesta de la Merce. This festival includes many exciting activities that last for several days. The activities eventually culminate in the 24th of September with excellent firework displays. The activities include sport events and boat race. Parades and dances also highlight the occasion. The public squares are the common venues for dances and parades. Music and revelries echo throughout Barcelona for almost a week in Honor of the city’s patron saint, the Virgin de la Merce.

Heidelberg is one of the historic German cities that directly developed from medieval civilization. It is home to the oldest educational institution in Germany, the University of Heidelberg. This university is founded in 1386. On the other hand, the city itself was first mentioned in historical documents in 1196. Prominently standing in the city is a ruin of a medieval castle or rather castles. Heidelberg Castle ruin is actually a complex of many buildings. The first building was erected by Prince Elector Ruprecht III as his personal residence.
This castle ruin is also the center of an annual festival dubbed as Heidelberg Castle Festival. Each summer, the festival is highlighted by classic operetta and stage drama presentations. The Heidelberg Castle Festival is a celebration of classical music and theatre arts. It has an ambience of intimacy. The participants and audience are limited because of the space restriction.
Tickets are usually issued on a first-come-first-serve basis. The courtyard of the castle is the main center for the festival celebration. The regular feature of the festival is the famous musical, “The Student Prince”, written by Sigmund Romberg.

The historic Munich City is famous for many historical landmarks such as the Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady), a twin-towered cathedral built from 1468 to 1488. Munich is also showcase a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture, the St. Michael’s Church. You can also find different castles in Munich such as the Amalienburg and the Nymphenburg. Munich also has some world-class museums such as the Old Pinakothek and the Bavarian National Museum.
However, Munich is really a world-renowned place for Oktoberfest festival. Just imagine six million liters of beer. This is enough to fill a small lake or pour a glass for every person in Germany. This is the total average consumption of beer during the annual celebration of the Oktoberfest. You may say that Oktoberfest is a German orgy for drinking beer.
The Munich Oktoberfest is not complete without the voluptuous Bavarian waitresses clad in traditional costumes. Each waitress can carry 22 liters of beer at a time, the equivalent of 66 bottles of 12-ounce beer. The Oktoberfest was first held in 1810 to celebrate the marriage of King Ludwig, the king of Bavaria, and Princess Therese of Saxony-Hindenburghausen.

 The success of the Japanese film, "Rashomon", which bagged the Best Picture Award in the 1951 Venice International Film Festival, opened the door for the yearly Asia-Pacific Film Festival. The victory called for movie producers from different countries to establish an alliance that would promote the produced Asian films, especially in the eastern region.
The vision aims to attract the country members to exchange and share their respective cultures through film productions. The Philippines hosted the first conference of the Federation of Motion Picture Producers in Asia in 1953. The said meeting was attended by delegates from 7 Asian countries, such as Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, Taiwan and Thailand. They agreed to have a health film competition among the members. And so, in 1954, the first Asian Film Festival was born, and Japan became its first host.
After the success of the said project, more countries from Pacific and other parts of Asia were encouraged to join. Thus, the call for the federation was changed to Federation of Motion Picture Producers in Asia-Pacific, and the festival named as the Asia-Pacific Film Festival. Now, the federation has 14 members, and each country has the opportunity to host the event.

 The Chelsea Flower Show in London is perhaps the greatest annual flower festival in the whole European continent. This festival the Great Britain dominion is already on its 83rd year of existence. The Chelsea Flower Show was organized in 1913 by the royal Horticultural Society.
However, the flower exhibition in London city has a long history and can be traced back as far as 144 years. The first flower show was called the Royal Horticultural Society’s Great Spring Show.

Each year, garden designers from all around the world compete for space in the Chelsea show.

La Tomatina Festival in Spain is probably one of the most unique festivals around the world. It is notorious for being the world’s largest vegetable fight. Imagine hundreds of ripe tomatoes being thrown at people with no holds barred and yet they enjoy it, some go even to the extent of wearing tomato clothing.
The Tomatina Festival is held in the little town of Buñol in Eastern Spain every last Wednesday of August. It was in 1944 that the first Tomatina Festival was held in honor of the town’s patron saint. Buñol sure has a lot of tomatoes because they do it once a year ever since. You would wonder why these people love hurling tomatoes at each other. The reason is just for the heck of it. The only rule is to throw nothing but ripe tomatoes. The tomato battle is the culmination of a week-long celebration full of festivities and merry-making.
Buñol can be accessed through train and bus. The town is pretty small so it will be very helpful for vacationers who would want to spend a week of fun tomato fight to nice hotel arrangements beforehand in neighboring towns.

 Bastille Day is a national holiday in France, but it is mostly celebrated in Paris. Bastille Day is the commemoration of one of the important events of the glorious French Revolution. Historically, the siege of the hated Bastille castle by the French commoners was a pivotal point.
The event actually heralded a major change in European culture and society. Bastille Day celebration is annually celebrated on July 14. It commemorates the storming of the Bastille Castle in 1789 and it is regarded as a symbol of the start of the struggle of the French people against the abuses of the French monarchy and aristocracy.
Bastille Day celebration in France is more loud and vibrant than the celebration of the New Year. Aside from Paris, many other cities hold firework shows during the night. It is also customary during the celebration that firefighters organize dancing parties or balls. Colorful military parades are held on the morning of July 14. The largest of these parades are held on the Champs-Elysees Avenue in Paris. The main guest of honor for this parade is usually the president of the French Republic.

 Festivals are happening all over the world. Perhaps because everyone in this universe loves to celebrate. During a fun tradition, all the people in that place will gather and celebrate. This is the time wherein people unit, promote, and proudly showcase their talents to expectators.
The archipelagic country of Philippines also celebrates many festivals. Almost all towns and cities of this country have festivals. One of the most famous is the Flower Festival or Panagbenga in Baguio City. It is usually celebrated during the third week of February because it is the season of flowers and the climate is cool. This festival takes almost three weeks. It is in this festival that the people of Baguio City show their rich culture, history, values, and traditions to other people which is really the reason why the festival is promoted. The highlights of this celebration are the street dance and float parade.
The street dancing is a competition participated usually by the different schools which are subdivided into three levels. These levels include college, high school, and elementary. The dancers wear colorful costumes decorated with the wonderful flowers. As days pass by, neighboring towns start to participate in the said competition. But their aim is not just to compete but to celebrate with the natives of Baguio as well. The float parade, on the other hand, is also fascinating because of the different flowers used to decorate the floats.

 The British Isles is separate from the European continent. British Isles occupy a relatively small land area of about only 241,600 square kilometers. The land area of the Great Britain Kingdom is slightly smaller than the land area of Texas. However, Great Britain was once a mighty world power. Its former dominions included Canada, American colonies, India, Australia, and other territories. The British people have always been busy with the affairs of the state that its capital, London, generally neglected the celebration of festivals.
However, many of the best public events in London capitalize on the river such as Chelsea Flower Show, Boat Race, and Notting Hill Carnival. All of these events utilize the river in some of their highlights. The Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race is one major event in London that dates back in March 12, 1829. The idea of a boat race competition between the two universities was originated by two friends – Charles Merivale, a student in Cambridge University, and his Harrow school friend Charles Wordsworth. This annual boat race is a healthy way of taking a break from the rigors of academic life.

 The film industry is undoubtedly an invention of Western civilization. The pioneering technological advancements in photography and moving pictures were invented in the European continent and American continent. Furthermore, the film industry itself first prospered in the West. The East of Asia simply copied and improved the techniques that were developed by the West. However, the trend of Asians copying from the Westerners is gradually reversing. Now, Western movie makers, particularly the American movie makers, are adapting ideas from Asians. The Grudge and The Ring are the two specific examples of movies that were adapted for the American cinema.
Asian film festivals, like the Bangkok International Film Festival, are growing in worldwide acceptance and prestige. Hollywood filmmakers are even planning to remake some Thai movies, particularly movies under the horror movie genre. Indeed, Asians have succeeded in making spine-tingling films. The Bangkok International Film Festival is only on its third year, but it has excitement and growing energy. The festival is under the direction of the tourism Authority of Thailand and is being managed by L.A.-based Film Festival Management. The main intention of this festival is to turn Bangkok into a major global movie center.

 Rome has always been a cultural and political center of the European continent since ancient times. Hence, the city of Rome is sometimes called as the eternal city. During ancient times, Rome dominated Europe. Rome was a great and glorious empire that ruled Europe for more than half a millennia. Hence, it is not surprising that Rome heavily influenced the course of European history. Ancient Rome has a deeply embedded influence on almost all aspects of European society, from religious to political, from cultural to language.
Even the Christian church, particularly the Catholic Church, was heavily patterned to the imperial structure of ancient Rome. Formerly pagan traditions and celebrations were incorporated to the new religion. Modern Roman holidays are mostly religious festivities with some ancient pagan twist. Different festivals are held in Rome whole year round. For instance, during the month of March, there are four festivals being celebrated, namely, Festival of St. Francesca, Feast of St. Joseph, Festival of Giuseppe, and Maratona della Citta di Roma or Roman Marathon. Since the Vatican City is located in Rome, it is inevitable that other religious festivals are celebrated in Rome throughout the year.

 The Vatican City is a sovereign city-state separate from the Italian Republican State. Historically, Rome and other neighboring territories were included in the Papal States. However, during the Italian Unification, these Papal States were incorporated to the nation-state of Italy. The papal territory was reduced to a mere complex of buildings with an area of only 0.44 square kilometers. The city-state of Vatican is the official spiritual and administrative center of the Holy Roman Apostolic and Catholic Church. However, Vatican has not always been the official residence of the popes.
There was a time in the history of the Catholic Church that the official residence of the pope was transferred to Avignon, a French territory. Although the power and prestige of the papal office was significantly reduced during this period, the Catholic Church influence in France has taken a deep root. The most obvious Catholic Church influence in France is the religious festivals. There are at least eleven national holidays and hundreds of regional holidays in France. Some of these holidays have religious backgrounds. The Holy Week and the Assumption are some of the religious holidays in France.
