1. Festival of colors in India

Every year in March, Hindus celebrate holi - an ancient festival of spring and bright colors. This is how people meet spring. At night on the full moon, they light fires to drive away evil spirits and destroy the bad deity Holika.

On the day of the holiday, people take to the streets in the morning and throw colorful paints in the form of powder at each other.

On this day, social differences are erased. Representatives of all castes have fun, sing and dance. By the way, throwing paints "emigrated" to many other countries.

2. La Tomatina – tomato festival

In the Spanish city of Buñol, international tomato wars take place every August. People from all over the world come to a fun tomato battle, which lasts a whole week.

Spaniards and visitors to the country receive about 150 thousand tomatoes, which will serve them as a weapon. For about an hour, they throw tomatoes at familiar and unfamiliar people, and then until the evening they walk around the city dirty and happy.

3. San Fermin – festival with bulls

And again we will virtually visit Spain to get to another crazy holiday. In the city of Pamplona, the most dangerous festival in the world is celebrated annually in July.

Every morning for 10 days, the Spaniards release a herd of angry bulls that catch up with a crowd of brave souls running through the narrow streets.

The task of the participants is to run to the square, which is located 875 meters from the beginning of the route. Only sober people are allowed to participate.

4. Cheese race in the UK

Every year in May in the county of Gloucestershire, boring and prim Englishmen turn into carefree merrymakers, chasing a cheese head letting roll down a steep mountain.

The winner is the one who, in fact, catches the cheese, running to the finish line. As a reward, he receives the same cheese head weighing about 4 kg.

5. "Burning Man" in Nevada

Another strange and unforgettable festival found a place in the US state of Nevada. The holiday is celebrated 7 days in a row in August. To do this, a special city is built, which after the end of the festival disappears for exactly one year.

On holidays, you can not use money, so people stock up on food and everything necessary in advance. During the festival, artists perform, unusual sculptures of gigantic sizes are built, and people dress up as different fairy-tale characters.

But the main event of the festival is the burning of a huge wooden statue of a man, which is performed on Saturday.
