Our Featured Bizarre Festivals

Burning Man (Black Rock City, NV, USA)
Festival Types: Art, Bizarre, Performing Art
Month: September

To many Burning Man represents an artistic utopia, a successful study of creative co-existence. It's an eight day escape where particpants are free to express themselves almost without bounds. To quote it's organisers, "it's an experiment in community, radical self-expression, and radical self-reliance".

Whatever you make of it, it can't be argued that the Burning Man Project is brilliantly unique.

Calcio Storico (Florence, Italy)
Festival Types: Sport - Football, Sport - Bizarre, Bizarre
Month: June

Part football, part thuggery, dripping in testosterone and tradition, Calcio Storico is not for the faint-hearted. Since the 1500's teams of 27 combatants - donned in period costume - have paraded through the picture-postcard streets of Florence before being let loose on each other in a sporting battle unlike anything else seen in Europe.

Cheese Rolling (Coopers Hill, England)
Festival Types: Sport - Bizarre, Bizarre, Harvest
Month: May

Whenever you catch a wacky, global sports round-up on the tele chances are they'll feature a bunch of Brits rolling uncontrollably down a ridiculously steep hill, neigh precipice, following a 7 pound chunk of cheese. Welcome to the outrageous world of Cheese Rolling, an age-old Pagan tradition celebrated annually in the Cotswalds and a damn good bit of fun to boot.

Day of the Dead - El Dia de Los Muertos (All Areas, Mexico)
Festival Types: Traditional, Cultural, Bizarre
Month: November

Early each November Mexican's the width and breadth of the country pack a hamper and head to the cemetery to celebrate el dia de los muertos, the day of the dead. And yep, I said celebrate.

Far from being a sombre affair, day of the dead festivities are round-the-clock celebrations of the lives of those family members that have passed before them. Families gather, food is shared, tequila is downed, cigars are smoked - as far as Mexican celebrations go, it doesn't get much bigger.

La Tomatina (Bunol, Spain)
Festival Types: Bizarre, Party, Food
Month: August

Each and every August in Buñol (a picturesque Spanish village just outside of Valencia) La Tomatina, the world's largest food fight is played out. The missiles, tomatoes, the targets, anyone crazed enough to turn up, the result, tomato-based carnage. Welcome to La Tomatina!

San Fermin - Running of the Bulls (Pamplona, Spain)
Festival Types: Bizarre, Traditional, Party
Month: July

At noon on the seventh day of the seventh month (that's July 7th for those calendarily challenged) for a duration of seven days, the Spanish city of Pamplona plays host to the festival of San Fermin (known locally as Sanfermines and famously depicted in Hemingway's, The Sun Also Rises).

The event draws party-goers from near and far and although Sanfermines entails so much more to the locals, it's the Encierro - the daily running of the bulls - that the majority of the tourists are on hand to see. For a little over half a mile bull runners - clad in all white with red handkerchiefs tied around their necks - battle the cobbles of Santo Domingo en route to El Plaza del Toros whilst in pursuit are six, infuriated, agitated and totally disorientated toros. Injuries are numerous, since 1924 they've proven fatal for 13 protagonists.

San Fermin is a festival steeped in history, tradition and local culture but not without it's detractors as is seen in the annual Running of the Nudes - an event highlighting the animal cruelty aspects of San Fermin.
