10 Worldwide Events You Must Attend Before You Die
1) Carnaval — Rio de Janeiro, Brazil -This four-day celebration is unlike anything else on the planet. Nearly 2 million people gather on the streets of Rio de Janeiro to celebrate Carnaval. Dancing, parades, costumes, and oh so much more burst forth to create in the biggest party in South America. There are several parades and all of them are free-spirited affairs where quite literally anything could happen. Everyone is happy and everyone participates.
2) Oktoberfest — Munich, Germany -here are many imitators, but only one true place can honor Oktoberfest -- Munich Germany and their famous beer halls. For sixteen booze-filled days millions of people descend upon Munich to drink beer and enjoy German food from beer tents scattered across the city. The food is amazing and so is the beer, but it's the hospitality and atmosphere that keeps many coming back year after year.
3) Running of the Bulls — Pamplona, Spain -The San Fermin Festival includes the ever popular event, the running of the bulls. During this spectacle tens of thousands of people line up and attempt to run with, and from, a group of bulls which are funneled through a barricaded path towards a stadium filled to capacity.
4) Diwali — India t's known as the Festival of Lights. It takes place over five days following harvest season and it's largely the New Year's Day celebration for those of the Hindu faith. During this time the Hindu people celebrate the good things in life. They light fireworks, craft colorful lanterns, share in meals, and participate in ceremonies and traditions that go back hundreds of years
5) White Nights and Scarlet Sails Festival — St. Petersburg, Russia -During a time in the summer months the sun never sets in northern Russia. During the height of this season the Russians hold the White Night Festival which culminates with the Scarlet Sails on the final day. During the White Nights, artists, musicians, ballerinas, orchestras and street performers entertain the city with performances and film festivals.
6) Burning Man — Black Rock Desert, Nevada -This strange festival is a gathering of artists in search of various forms of expression -- or so we believe. The truth is that Burning Man is one of the weirdest gatherings you're likely to ever attend. It's filled with artists, exhibitionists, and crazy people who converge in the desert and construct a temporary town they call Black Rock City.
7) Mardi Gras — New Orleans -One of the biggest parties of the year is held in the French Quarter in New Orleans. Held prior to lent, thousands of people flock to the streets of New Orleans for the final day of the carnival dressed in costume, arrayed in beads, decorated in face-paint and generally inebriated. The Mardi Gras parade is an eclectic affair riddled with wildly outrageous costumes and floats with riders who toss plastic beads to those they feel deserve them.
8) La Tomatina — Bunal, Spain -Like food fights? Well then, we have the place for you. The best way to describe the La Tomatina is to say that it's a giant food fight with tomatoes -- with 30,000 participants. Admission to this event used to be free, but in recent years the numbers have swelled to the point that the town was forced to sell tickets for it. Before the fight starts the organizers launch rockets filled with tomato juice into the sky, which cascades into the city and coats everything and everyone.
9) FIFA World Cup -Forget the Olympics and the Super Bowl -- if you're going to attend one sporting event in your life, make it the FIFA World Cup. Like the Olympics this event only comes around every four years -- and that's part of what makes it so great. Not only does it draw the best players from around the world, but the football is generally spectacular and emotional. Getting a ticket is difficult, but few sports bring out the passion and national pride of fans like this one does.
10) Il Palio — Siena, Italy -Twice a year (on July 2nd and August 16th) they hold a horse race in Siena called the Palio de Siena. It consists of ten riders who ride horses bareback, garbed in colorful clothing which represents ten of the seventeen wards in Sienna. The racers circle the Piazza del Campo, which is covered with a thick layer of dirt, three times.
