Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Quit your job and sell your house, there are festivals to attend. Surely before you're done with travel you'll want to take in a vegetarian banquet for 600 monkeys in Thailand, a ripe tomato battle in Spain, the Wilderness Woman Competition in Alaska, Sweden's Kraftskiva (Crayfish Festival), and Prague's Spring International Music Festival, held on the anniversary of Bedrich Smetana's death and starting off with a procession from his grave. And then there are the 996 others documented by Tom Clynes in 90 countries around the world. Time's awasting.

A KICK IN THE PANTS FOR FESTIVAL LOVERS,
By
This review is from: Wild Planet! 1,001 Extraordinary Events for the Inspired Travel (Paperback)
This book is about as thorough as you can imagine... from elderly bachelors trying to get hitched in Ireland to a festival thrown for monkeys in Thailand, this book can show you where the fun stuff is. (That is, if you are into old Irish men and monkeys) If you are planning a trip around the world, or even just to a particular region, this is a helpful guide to interesting cultural events that regular travel guides don't cover.
