Hogmanay
2019-12-30 - 2020-01-01 | Edinburg Scotland, United Kingdom
Picture the core of the city bustling with people partying, jumping from one stage to the other as 5 bands are usually playing at the same time all over the place, staring at fireworks as midnight approaches, having a blast even when the weather doesn’t help and you will start understanding how much fun it is. And then add popular dances, an ice rink, Christmas markets, a Ferris wheel, a torchlight procession on the 30th, a proper music festival on the 31st, the nuts Loony Dook race that ends up swimming in the not so warm waters by the Forth bridge on the outskirts of the city as well as an art explosion taking over 9 bizarre venues called Scot:Lands.
I doubt there is another place on earth rocking NYE as much as Edinburgh!

Mevlana Whirling Dervishes
2019-12-10 - 2019-12-18 | Konya, Turkey
Men dressed in whites robes and tall hats spinning in circles doesn’t sound as exciting as running with the bulls or dancing at Rio’s Carnival, but the chance to watch the Whirling Dervishes will change you in a way you’d never expect. Based on the teachings and practices of the 13th-century poet Rumi, this 10-day festival will expose you to the power of devotion and show you that spinning can do more than just make you dizzy.

Krampusnacht
2019-12-05 | Tyrol, Austria
The mythical Krampus is horned half-goat, half-demon who is meant to whip children into being nice at Christmas – and he’s more than a little terrifying to the uninitiated.
Bearing horns, long dark hair (fur), and fangs, the anti-St. Nicholas comes with a chain and bells that he lashes about, along with a bundle of birch sticks meant to swat naughty children. He then hauls the bad kids down to the underworld. Or so the story goes. In the Austrian Alps, a parade of Krampus takes over the streets, their chains rattling as they walk through the snow-covered streets, carrying torches of fire and whipping unsuspecting passersby. Go prepared.. I didn’t sleep so well after attending this festival!

Loy Krathong & Yi peng
2019-11-13 | Chiang Mai, Thailand
Loi Krathong is one of the most picturesque and most romantic festivals of Thailand, falling on the night of full moon of the 12th lunar month. The moon appears exceptionally bright, beautiful and full.

Krathong is a lotus shaped container made of banana leaves, containing a candle, incense sticks, flower and coins.
People also make their way to these water bodies where they can float Krathongs and make their wishes. It is said that people congregate for floating away their sins and miseries and hope for a better future for their families.

Diwali
2019-11-06 - 2019-11-10 | Mumbai, India
I happened to visit India during the Diwali celebrations. Known as the “Festival of Lights”, the Diwali is supposed to last for about five days and consists in exchanging gifts, burning butter and oil lanterns, and in fireworks. In fact, it actually lasts more than the official five days, and it is incredibly noisy, with fireworks exploding literally anywhere – so much so that the already dramatic pollution levels of India increase further.
Most Indians take their holidays during Diwali, or right after. Cities can get incredibly crowded with internal tourists – but the atmosphere is incredible! Easily one of the best festivals in the world!

Pintaflores Festival 2019
2019-11-02 - 2019-11-04 | Cebu, Philippines
Annual festival in the City of San Carlos which takes its name from the Spanish word “pinta” (tattoo) and “flores” (flowers). It is, in fact, a combined version of the Nabingkalan Tattoo Festival and the Dance of Flowers, both of which derive from the legend of Princess Nabingka, a daughter of a chieftain from Cebu who sailed with her entourage to San Carlos in the early 17th century. The story goes that the princess, separated from her family, became melancholy in her new home and so all tribesmen were ordered to plant flowers and trees to try and revive her spirits. But these did not take in the humid plains, and so instead it was decreed that all tribesmen and women must tattoo their bodies with flowers instead. Today, the dancers at the festival have their bodies painted and wear flamboyant floral costumes in memory of the beginnings of San Carlos.

Austin City Limits (USA)
2019-10-04 - 2019-10-14 | Austin, Texas, United States
Austin City Limits can be described in one word, DYNAMIC. This amazing city boasts culture from all walks of life, contrary to most people’s beliefs that Austin, Texas is home to guys dressed in cowboy boots and hats riding horses. ACL Festival is no different, the social scene is mixed with all genres of music and art installations in a live music setting. One minute you can be head bobbing to 21 Pilots, lip-syncing to Drake, being serenaded by the Weeknd, to watching a theatrical performance by Florence and the Machine. Did I mention some big-name Electronic Music Dj’s make appearances here too? If diversity and overall different experience in an awesome town are what you look for in a festival, Austin City Limits is the place to be!

Oktoberfest
2019-09-21 08:00 - 2019-10-06 17:00 | Munich, Germany
Every beer lover simply must attend the Oktoberfest once in their life! I recently checked it off my bucket list with great glee. I was sure there was no way I was going to drink TWO of those huge steins you see in pictures, but two were included with admission so two it was. No problem! Tent hopping is part of the fun and that means drinking even MORE beer. No problem! But thankfully there is a cafe tent where you can sober up with coffee and Black Forest cake, and then either dive in again or go back to your room in Munich to recover.

Hajj
2019-08-09 - 2019-08-14 | Mecca, Saudi Arabia
Hajj refers to a Muslim’s pilgrimage to Mecca and is one of the five pillars of Islam. At least once in his or her lifetime, each Muslim is expected to undertake this pilgrimage the sacred city of Islam. This holy journey is called the hajj in Arabic. While a visit to Mecca is beneficial at any time of the year, it must take place during the month of Dhu al-Hijja (the last month of the Islamic year) to fulfill the requirements of the hajj.
As with the sawm (fasting), exceptions are made for those who are physically or financially unable to fulfill this obligation, and one is actually commanded not to make the hajj if to do so would cause hardship for his or her family. However, those unable to go themselves may fulfill their obligation by sending someone in their stead.

Edinburgh Fringe Festival
2019-08-02 - 2019-08-26 | Edinburg, United Kingdom
Theater, music, film, comedy, dance, musicals, spoken word, street performances, and exhibitions – Edinburgh Festival Fringe has it all. Known as the world’s largest arts festival, each August the Fringe takes over Scotland’s capital, drawing artists, performers, and attendees from around the world. Fringe developed 70 years ago (as an alternative to the selective Edinburgh International Festival) and is an open-access festival, meaning that anyone can participate or perform. You can either buy tickets in advance or just walk down the bustling Royal Mile and let the many promoters guide you to a cheap or free show. The festive atmosphere of the entire city is truly contagious and something to experience at least once! And if you are planning a visit, don’t miss the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo which is on at the same time!

Temecula Valley Balloon
2019-06-01 08:00 - 2019-06-02 17:00 | South Stage, South Stage, New York, NY, 545757, United States
Hot-air ballooning is a popular activity in Temecula year-round—but every June, it becomes just a little more special, thanks to the Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival.
This three-day festival, which began in 1983, attracts some 40,000 people every summer. It’s easy to see the appeal. Even one hot-air balloon is a spectacular sight; when 40–50 of them lift off from the ground and fill the sky with a rainbow of colors, it becomes a magical event.
Balloons can fly only when the air is cool, which means multiballoon sightings happen only in the early mornings. Can’t make the sunrise wake-up call? You can still experience the thrill of this activity by climbing into a tethered balloon and floating 75 feet above the valley landscape. And come each night for the Balloon Glow event, when multiple balloons are inflated and illuminated, glowing like lanterns against the dark sky.
Of course, there’s plenty to do throughout the day as well. Temecula’s award-winning wines and craft beers are on full display, and aficionados can participate in wine and beer tastings as well as food-pairing seminars. These multicourse events bring together some of the valley’s finest experiences; multiple chefs prepare the meals, while a brewmaster or winery representative discusses the nuances of the beverages. And entertainment? Absolutely. Every year sees a rotating cast of performers take to the festival stage, filling the California air with music.
Of course, all of Temecula’s varied activities are available as well: Stroll Old Town, visit wineries, go for a hike, or taste the locally grown delights at the Temecula Olive Oil Company.

Each year, the opening show, “California Unzipped,” perfectly encapsulates what the event is all about: it showcases the collections of three diverse California designers with distinct styles that represent the breadth of the state’s fashion scene. Some events benefit local schools or organizations, and ticketed fashion shows and their after-parties, scattered around the Palm Springs area, offer another good excuse to explore the local resorts and iconic landmarks, like the Ritz-Carlton Rancho Mirage or the Palm Springs Art Museum.
Most events are free for the general public (see the schedule for details); individual admission to ticketed events ranges from $80 to $95 (reserved seating). College students can get tickets for $35. Fashion Vacation packages that include admission to select events along with accommodations at nearby luxe hotels are also available.
