Festival very much impressed. For you?  |

I was visitng Thailand a few years ago, and I had the opportunity to go to Chiangmai, a beautiful City in the north. It just happened to be in the month of April during the Water Festival time, the cultural new year festival! Oh, I was so impressed, everyone taking part in the festival, pouring water on everybody and having a lot of fun. I partcipated in the that too, pouring water on everyone! That was one of the most joyful and impressive festivals I have seen. How about for you? Which has been the impressive festival for you? And, where was it?

1. sweetie1026 (1102) | 8 months ago | Hi, i have never been to India but i have seen it on movies and on tv, the Festival of Colors. Where people throws this powder of different colors on everyone, i think it is a celebration of the changing of seasons. But here in my country we have a festival almost the same as what you have written about. It is on June 24 feast day of St. John the Baptist and people in towns and cities who have him as their Patron Saint, celebrate it by pouring water on each other.It is a very joyful celebration, then they have a fluvial parade for the culmination of the feast.

2. oyenkai (3361) | 8 months ago | I had been to Thailand a few years ago but I missed the festival you are referring to. That seems like something similar to a Philippine festival - it's in San Juan on the month of June, I think.
I don't really know what the best festival I have attended, which I consider the best. I guess it's the New Year's day we celebrate with firecrackers and good food every year:) Oh and I also like it when my Chinese friends celebrate Chinese new year and they bring Tikoy treats for us:D
Thanks for the response on my discussion!

3. siddharthjeevan (399) | 8 months ago | To me the most impressive festival is the rio carnivale. it happens once a year at Rio. People party all night long and the entire town witness it. Thousands of people participate in it and the floats in the festival are amazing to watch

7. narvzgarrison (201) | 8 months ago | I wish i can go to thailand too because i've heard it's a very nice place, the beach and so many beautiful views. Unfortunately, i never have a funniest experience with festival coz i don't attend festival a lot especially when it's hot. But i did have an experience where everyone's walking on the street dancing, and everybody wears weird clothes and had tatoos painted on their bodies. We call it in the Philippines as Sinulog festival. I think a lot of people from all over the world known about his party because it is a religious festival devoted for the sto. Ñino of Cebu for being miraculous.Many foreign people along with Filipinos walk together and enjoying the street dancing where the dancers are carrying image of the saint and show it to all the people. The dress worn were also very very impressive because it is a competition party with groups of people coming from different islands. Even if it's very hot but because of so much fun to see, you can ignore the temperature of the sun.It is rain or shine with a lot of fun.
