Festival Name: Blobfest
Festival Country: USA
Festival Type(s): Film, Bizarre
Indescribable... Indestructible! Nothing Can Stop It!' So reads the tagline of the 1950s Sci-Fi classic, The Blob. And nothing seems to be stopping a festival that brings this kitschy film back to life.


Article Title: Canada Day in London
Festival Name: Canada Day
Festival Country: England
Festival Type(s): National, Historical, Party
Canadians seldom get vocal about much. There are loads of us in London but we never make ourselves known like our fellow Aussie and Kiwi working holidaymakers. A big reason for that could be that we don't have many events in London to support, but when July 1st rolls around, Canadians flock to the Maple Leaf pub in Covent Garden to show their patriotism.


Festival Name: Colorado Dragon Boat Festival
Festival Country: USA
Festival Type(s): Dragon Boat, Sport - Water, Traditional
The Colorado Dragon Boat Festival is an awesome display of Asian arts, food and of course the main event of dragon boat racing.


Festival Name: Galway Races
Festival Country: Ireland
Festival Type(s): Sport - Equestrian, Party
Throughout Ireland people of all ages and occupations prepare for the Galway Races with a fervour that is almost religious in its intensity. Budgets are planned, holidays are arranged and business is scheduled to conform with the sacrosanct dates of the annual week-long festival.


Article Title: Meet me on the Green
Festival Name: Green River Rendezvous
Festival Country: USA
Festival Type(s): Indigenous, Historical, Traditional
Kick up the dust. Put on your best cowboy duds and get ready for some real down-home Americana at the Green River Rendezvous in Pinedale, Wyoming, a annual pageant offering a colorful collection of mountain men, explorers, Indians and well orchestrated drama showing the history of the region with a western bent.


Festival Name: Guelaguetza
Festival Country: Mexico
Festival Type(s): Traditional, Cultural, Religious
"You should be here in July when we hold our annual Guelaguetza. It's the most beautiful festival in the world." My Zapotec Indian taxi driver in Oaxaca, capital of Mexico's most colourful state, exuded pride as he talked about his state's national dance extravaganza.


Article Title: Love Parade
Festival Name: Love Parade
Festival Country: Germany
Festival Type(s): Music - Electronic, Party, Dance
Love Parade is the largest techno gathering in the world. The tradition started 10 years ago with a few hundred ravers and has grown to a million and a half people. That's right: 1.5 million people.


Festival Name: Naadam Festival
Festival Country: Mongolia
Festival Type(s): Sport - Equestrian, Traditional
Sun baked soil billowed around us, thrown up by hundreds of horses' hooves. As I stepped back to avoid the nomads streaming past on their stocky mounts I could feel dust particles grinding between my teeth and sticking to my skin. It had been less than two weeks since I had left the British Isles with a group of nine other volunteers to take part in a work and travel scheme in Mongolia working for the Mongolian Youth Development Centre (MYDC) for the summer, but we had been lucky enough to be given a couple of days off for the national Naadam Festival.


Festival Name: Ommegang
Festival Country: Belgium
Festival Type(s): Medieval, Historical, Re-enactments
Brussels' Grand Place is packed with spectators, including the Royal Family and their guests, for the annual Ommegang, or 'walk about' in Dutch, the major annual event in the city since 1549. Although historians believe it began as a religious ritual in the 14th Century, the huge parade and festival is now devoid of religious connotations and focuses on local folklore and heritage.


Festival Name: Phoenix Festival
Festival Country: USA
Festival Type(s): Dance, Music - Electronic
At 8 a.m. Friday morning, I was sitting on a dry Eastern Washington hill sharing a smoke with two hippies. They'd driven up from San Francisco to play on the Phoenix Family sound system, which was thumping out psychedelic trance on the slope below us. One of the hippies gestured to a long rectangular canvas event tent.


Article Title: Midsummer Nights Magic
Festival Name: Quebec Fireworks Competition - Les Grands Feux Loto
Festival Country: Canada
Festival Type(s): Fireworks
Missing were the 'ooos' and 'ahhhs' heard at typical fireworks displays. The people sitting huddled under panchos and sheltered under a rainbow of umbrellas came to Montmorency Falls, just outside Quebec City, to witness a special kind of magic - the final display of the three-week long Les Grands Feux Loto-Quebec fireworks competition. A steady rain didn't stop them and neither did a mist so thick they could taste it.


Article Title: Respect
Festival Name: Respect Festival
Festival Country: England
Festival Type(s): Multicultural, Music - World, Music - Varied
It was a beautiful summers day in London and I was on the way to RESPECT - an Anti-racism and Multicultural Festival. This annual event has been held in July, for the past 2 years in various parks around London. This year the festival was held in Victoria Park, Hackney.

Festival Name: San Fermin - Running of the Bulls
Festival Country: Spain
Festival Type(s): Bizarre, Party, Sport - Bizarre
My stomach was churning, my palms sticky, my heart smashing at the inside of my ribcage. I put on a brave face. Strange to think that I'd paid to be here.


Article Title: Siena Palio
Festival Name: Siena Palio
Festival Country: Italy
Festival Type(s): Sport - Equestrian, Sport - Bizarre, Traditional
It was Palio, the biggest event in a Sienese year. When the local contrada's (districts) take to the track with their finest horses and race for a coveted silk banner. When horses become Gods, passions are high and the square fills with the excitement of a race for glory.


Festival Name: Summer Festival of El Vendrell
Festival Country: Spain
Festival Type(s): Summer, Traditional, Cultural
There is a really special Catalan destination that combines sun and sand with a twist of magic for four days at the end of July. The Festa Major of Vendrell (Summer Festival) celebrates the day of Saint Anna on and around the 26th July in true Mediterranean style.


Article Title: Tanabata Festival

If you love romance this is the festival for you! On the seventh night of the seventh moon, or July 7th, Tanabata is celebrated.

Festival Name: World Body Painting Festival

Article Title: World Series of Poker
Festival Name: World Series of Poker
Festival Country: USA
Festival Type(s): Poker
It was the summer of '49 when a chronic gambler by the unassuming name of Nicholas Dandolos - who went by the almost as unassuming handle "Nick the Greek" - approached another probably suitably nicknamed chap (the records don't show) by the name of Benny Binion with a little proposition.


Article Title: Yowah Opal Festival
Festival Name: Yowah Opal Festival
Festival Country: Australia
Festival Type(s): Local, Collectors
With all this devastation there is a strange beauty about the place. There is certainly a beauty about the gemstone that the locals find here. Yowah is the home of the Yowah Nut. A nondescript brown stone on the outside , but when split in two, can reveal a beautiful iron stone centre with strange patterns and crystal opal either in a pocket or often spread throughout the stone.
