Festival Name: Abril Feria - April Fair
Festival Country: Spain
Festival Type(s): Traditional, Food and Wine, Party
The word 'Spain' invokes images of a most vibrant nation, Latin passion, proud bull-fighters, flamencos, and of course, of Carmen and Don Juan. Seville in the Andalusian region in southern Spain is the very embodiment of the Spanish character and spirit, and its cultural richness is best manifested by the annual week-long festival in this city during the last week of April -- Abril Feria, or April Fair.


Article Title: Gallipoli
Festival Name: ANZAC Day
Festival Country: Turkey
Festival Type(s): Remembrance, Historical, National
One paragraph described the digger's leap from the landing boat and dash across the beach and up the hills to meet up with his unit. In his own words he described the landing as 'glorious fun'.


Article Title: ANZAC Day - April 25th
Festival Name: ANZAC Day
Festival Country: Australia
Festival Type(s): Remembrance, Historical
Anzac Day, April 25th, is significant for both New Zealand and Australia where, in Australia, at least, it has become far more than a commemoration of war dead. The history of this day is relatively simple but its symbolism is extremely complex.


Article Title: April Fool's Day
Festival Name: April Fool's Day
Festival Country: Worldwide
Festival Type(s): Traditional
It is difficult to trace how April Fool's Day originated, but it seems to be connected with the date of the New Year under the Julian calendar.


Festival Name: Art on Cows
Festival Country: Luxembourg
Festival Type(s): Art, Bizarre
The plaque on the base of the first cow offered little in the way of an explanation - Spledide by Christine Dumbsky. She was a metallic blue beast for the most part, with deep purple hooves and featured two topless pole dancers air brushed on her left flank.


Article Title: Carnival Time!
Festival Name: Carnival
Festival Country: United States Virgin Islands
Festival Type(s): Carnival, Street Parade, Party
It's Carnival Baby! That translates into a month long Hol-i-day for all people of St. Thomas. Carnival comes every April to this Virgin Island and with it are all the sights and sounds that comprise the Super Bowl of Caribbean Culture.


Festival Name: Hamauri - Beach Visiting Day
Festival Country: Japan
Festival Type(s): Traditional, Cultural
In early April you may be surprised to see more people than usual at the beaches. April 2nd (or March 3rd on the lunar calendar) is the day Hamauri or Beach Visiting is celebrated. This tradition all began with a very strange legend.


Festival Name: Historic Center Festival of Mexico City
Festival Country: Mexico
Festival Type(s): Historical, Cultural, Traditional
Vying with Tokyo as the largest city in the world, Mexico City offers a myriad of cultural opportunities. But none shows off the city more than the Historic Center Festival held each year in April


Festival Name: Isle of Iona Festival
Festival Country: Scotland
Festival Type(s): Local, Party
Visitin' yer unsestors r ye?' The driver asked as I gratefully climbed into his clapped out old van. I ignored his mistaken questioning. A mistake caused by my red hair, a mistake I was hearing all the time in Scotland. 'Are you going as far as Tobermory?' I asked hopefully, by way of a response. I was going to the 'capital' of The Isle of Mull, the third largest island in the Scottish Hebrides.


Festival Name: Melbourne International Comedy Festival
Festival Country: Australia
Festival Type(s): Comedy
With 1,500 comedians performing in 288 shows over three-and-half weeks, this ranks among the top three comedy festivals in the world, alongside Edinburgh's Festival Fringe and Montreal's Just for Laughs Festival.

Festival Country: USA
Festival Type(s): Bizarre, Food
Officially called the Pandemonious Potted Pork Festival, SPAMARAMATM draws 10,000 people with a highly refined sense of humor to one of the wackiest festivals in America


Festival Name: San Marcos Fair
Festival Country: Mexico
Festival Type(s): Cultural, Fair, Traditional
The San Marcos Fair, held from the second week in April to the first week of May each year, attracts thousands of visitors from all over Mexico and the United States. It dates back to 1604 when a small indigenous Indian settlement, San Marcos, was founded within walking distance of the growing Spanish city of Aguascalientes.


Festival Name: San Marcos National Fair
Festival Country: Mexico
Festival Type(s): Fair, Street Parade, Party
On a warm April morning as I strolled through the San Marcos Gardens in Aquascalientes, a vendor beckoned me to come over and have my fortune told by a supposedly clairvoyant canary. I had my doubts, but he assured me that my future was in the cards. It seemed the canary was to select a card from a deck of Tarot cards. As luck would have it, the bird foretold happiness. This was the only luck I was to have in the next few days, as I experienced the San Marcos National Fair, the fair of fairs, which consumes the industrial city of Aquascalientes, located at the very center of Mexico, from the second week of April to the first week of May each year. It's an occasion for superlatives-the oldest, most famous and largest fair in all of Mexico.


Article Title: A Homage To Sevilla
Festival Name: Semana Santa
Festival Country: Spain
Festival Type(s): Cultural, Religious, Traditional
Semana Santa represents a pulsating celebration of Easter and is as much of a sacred tradition to the proud Andalucians, as the rather more barbaric pastime of Bullfighting.


Article Title: Songkran
Festival Name: Songkran
Festival Country: Thailand
Festival Type(s): Traditional, Religious, Bizarre
During Songkran everyone is armed. Old and young, all have buckets, bottles, hoses, urns, water guns and even the fire tender is on hand to add to the total sum of water.


Festival Name: Songkran Water Festival
Festival Country: Thailand
Festival Type(s): Bizarre, Traditional
Imagine this scene: scads of Clampett-like hillbilly families crammed into the back of pickup trucks, chugging along in bumper-to-bumper traffic and squirting water at other vehicles and pedestrians. The water warriors use squirt guns, super soakers, hoses, buckets, garbage cans and anything else they can get their hands on in order to disperse their liquid ammunition. Drive-by squirtings everywhere.


Festival Name: The Dance of the Horned Man
Festival Country: Spain
Festival Type(s): Traditional, Dance - Folk, Cultural
A world away from the black garbed cross bearers of Barcelona's streets are the ruby red, horned dancers of Cornella del Terri, a small town located 113 kilometres north of Barcelona in the region of Girona.


Festival Name: The Festival of Sant Jordi at Montblanc
Festival Country: Spain
Festival Type(s): Medieval, Traditional
According to the Catalan historian, Joan Amades, the walls of Montblanc are the origin of Catalonia's most famous legend Sant Jordi, celebrated throughout Catalunya on the 23rd of April.
