All around the world, festivals are often celebrations of life that bring people of various backgrounds together. And for folks who love to travel, taking part in a festival, or even just witnessing one, is a great way to learn and understand cultures that we’re not familiar with.

In fact, some travellers go so far as to plan their holidays to coincide with a particular festival they are curious about, just so that they can experience the atmosphere, and perhaps even take part in the celebration.
