Do you have a local street festival or carnival in your town?  

What don't we have. We have the Pecan Street Festival - seems that happens more than once a year, but probably not. SXSW also known as South by Southwest, the music, movie festival. I know there are other things, but for the life of me, I don't know what they are - we used to have Aquafest, but that died about 10 yrs ago. We have boat shows, rv shows, all kinds of stuff.

In our town we have the River festival every year. There is a fun fair and side shows and loads of boats come down the river to join in. It is a noisy time with a lot of music and people coming home very late at night. We dont go into town on the weekend of the festival.
The other thing we have is the St georges day parade which is very year. All the local uniformed kids clubs join in and the army send people. We have the barracks in the town.
Usually there are a few street performances and stalls.

We have several in Calgary through out the year.
Our most famous is "The Calgary Stampede"
We go to a few of them, Jazz Festival is one we never miss.
But I never miss the Stampede! This year I have tickets to go see Reba McIntire. Yee Haw!!! Susan

I live in a small town with my family. Once a year the town closes down main street to have a parade. They invitethe fire departments from other towns over to ride in the parade. Then they also close off a couple of blocks to have a small concert performed by the local talent. There are a few games and some good food as well. Last year was the first year for us to fo because of being new in town. I hope that we have a better time this year.

Yes, in fact one takes place on my street! It happens twice a year in Brentwood, California. It is primarily an arts and crafts fair, but there are also musical performances. They wake me up because they start setting up at about 5:00AM. No worries, though, because the community seems to enjoy it.

Brentwood is a fairly affluent community and the street merchants take full advantage of this. Especially the food vendors; the prices are RIDICULOUSLY expensive! I generally don't make a point of attending the fair per se, but frequently end up in the midst of it when walking to a market or restaurant that happens to be on the same street.

Los Angeles (Brentwood is an adjacent community) is a HUGE metropolis and there are dozens (if not hundreds) of street fairs throughout the year. I'm only aware of a tiny percentage of them.

For example, many times in the past, I have attended The Renaissance Pleasure Faire. This is a large-scale Shakespearean/Elizabethan faire replete with period costumes worn by Americans sporting Elizabethan accents. Everything -- the costumes, food, mini-Shakespeare plays -- is very authentic. I've had great times there.

We've got a few, well being from the same country d'uh. Just how stupid do you think I can get with a statement like that.

As a matter of fact yes, and it happens to be going on this weekend. My hometown is called Barberton, Ohio. We have the Cherry Blossom Festival. It's all about the cherry trees, the cherries themselves and the blossoming of the trees. There's a parade in the morning, and a few days prior they have little pageant and pick Miss,Mr., Lil' mis, and Junior Cherry Blossom. After the parade there are many activities. There's the cherry pie eating contest (of course), the carnival, the bake off, a concert, and some other things that I just can't remember. But It's always a blast. Then In the town where I live (20 minutes away) next month we will have the Blue Tip Festival. The town is called Wadsworth, Ohio. And the blue tip is named that because many moons ago there was a match factory there. And you guessed it, the tips of the matches were blue. And that factory is where the majority of the people workded that helped build up the community and their families. And they do pretty much the same as the cherry blossom, but they created some quite unique activities. They have the plunger toss for ladies, the toilet toss for guys and some other nutty stuff. And prior to the parade the have a contest for kids to build something (I think a house) out of match sticks. It's really cool.

I really like the Parade of Nations, which includes not only a parade but also a sort of multi-cultural festival. My town, while small, is home to an awesome tech college, which is really well-known for its engineering program. So people from all over the world come here. Which is neat, because in such a small town you see people from everywhere.
So at Parade of Nations, everyone marches with flags from their countries, and wears traditional dress, and makes floats and such. And after the parade, there's a festival with lots of food and crafts from all over the world. At first it was mostly something the college kids did, but over the years the whole community has become more and more involved.
The other big celebration here is Bridgefest, which celebrates the lift bridge between the Keweenaw Peninsula and the rest of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It sounds really dorky, but it's actually kind of got some neat history behind it. And there are fireworks and food and crafts and all kinds of fun things.
Oh, I almost forgot Winter Carnival. We don't do sand sculptures here, but ice sculptures. Some of them are as big as buildings, and they were really beautiful. One year some people came from Finland and built an ice house here, and that was really neat too.

Well my town has the pumpkin fair. It's our biggest fair, but we have several through out the year. For being the pumpkin fair it has very little to with pumpkins. No pumpkin pie eating contest, pumpkin seed spitting, very little pumpkin food is available. It's more of just a place to shop. Not one food vendor was offering pumpkin pie but we had 340 vendors last year.

A festival in a neighboring town I was hoping to be be able to attend next year is the asparagus festival, fried and chocolate dipped asparagus are thing I would really like to try.

The pumpkin fair is usually a disappointment but I like strolling through the farmers market my town puts on in the summer. It's not as popular so it's not really that crowded and it's a nice way to relax.

yeah we do and some foreign nationals visit our place due to this festival..that is Kadayawan Festival, do you heared about it?
