Spaltfest
A
If you're in the tiny Spanish town of Buñol in Valencia, Spain
during the last week of August, make sure you take a spare
change of clothes because things get very, very messy! ‘La
Tomatina’ is a huge food fight that has been a strong
tradition in Buñol since around 1945. No one really knows
how it began, but everybody knows how it ends! The week
of the fight includes a fireworks party, music, dancing,
colourful street parades and even a huge paella cooking
contest. Then, about 30,000 people throw around 100,000
kg of tomatoes at each other for one hour.

Pirates of the Caribbean
TopWit
B
Have you ever wanted to be a pirate? If so, for ten days in
November, Georgetown in the Cayman Islands transforms
into a typical pirate town. The Pirates Week festival begins
with a mock kidnap, complete with tall ships and rowing
boats. Visitors have the chance to wear fancy dress
costumes and experience life as a pirate. There are also
street parties, treasure hunts and a huge fireworks display.

17.

March of scarecrows
C
TopWit
Every year on 6th October, the central
market square of Brussels in Belgium
becomes full of people made of straw ...yes,
scarecrows! This festival, which raises money
for local charities has been extremely popular
since it first started in 2001. Past winners of
the ‘Best Scarecrow Award’ have included a
medieval knight scarecrow and even a Cheap
Guevara one! If you think you can do better,
why not enter the competition yourself? All
you need are some old clothes and a bright
idea!

18.

Maslenitsa
D
If you want to watch parades, see fireworks and
open-air theatre performances and eat until you
burst, then the Maslenitsa carnival (or ‘Blini Week’) in
the heart of Moscow is the festival for you! This fun
festival takes place around the end of February and
celebrates the end of winter and the beginning of
spring. For this reason, all the festival-goers eat blini
(pancakes), which symbolise the sun (round, golden
and warm). At the end of carnival week, there is a big
bonfire to say a final goodbye to winter!
