Unusual Festivals
Every country has its own festivals to celebrate different things. Some festivals are more interesting than others because they are unusual—and a lot more fun! Here are just a few unusual festivals from around the world.
Holi, the festival of colours, is in India, Nepal and other parts of the world. Holi celebrates the end of winter and the coming of spring and it lasts for many days. During the festival, people throw coloured powder (粉末) and water at each other. It's one of the most colourful festivals in the world. |

The only colour during another famous festival is red. "La Tomatina" is in Bunol Spain, in August. People come from all over the world for a big food fight. All over the city, people run through the streets throwing red tomatoes at each other. The streets get very messy but everyone has a good time. |

Another strange and cold festival, Quyllur Rit'i, is in Peru in every May or June. People celebrate with music and dancing on top of a glacier (冰川)! The festival lasts for three days and, at the end, everyone walks out together carrying torches of fire. |
|
Finally, how about a festival with animals? On the last Sunday of November, people in Lopburi, Thailand, invite some unusual guests to dinner at the Monkey Buffet Festival. Hundreds of monkeys come and they eat a lot of fruit, nuts and vegetables. |
