Festival Vacation
Vacation Ideas
A festival vacation can be great vacation idea if you like a party atmosphere with lots of people and a variety of food and entertainment. There are lots of festivals around the world with different themes. With a little searching you should be able to find some that have a theme to your liking. I have a few here to get you started thinking.
Festival Vacation Idea #1:The National Storytelling Festival is held every October in Jonesborough, Tennessee. Large circus-type tents are set up downtown where everyone gathers to enjoy the talents of gifted storytellers from around the world. Just one example out of many is Bill Lepp. He is the winner of five "Biggest Liar" titles telling original, Appalachian tall-tales. Other storytelling festivals are the Corn Island Storytelling Festival in Louisville, Kentucky.... Toronto Storytelling Festival, Ontario, Canada.... The Tejas Storytelling Festival, Denton, Texas.

The Québec Winter Carnival has been a Canadian tradition for half a century with loads of fun activities for the whole family. You will find world-class sporting, artistic, and cultural activities. Some examples are night parades, ice fishing, slide runs, snow sculptures, music concerts, horse-drawn sleigh or dogsled rides, and skating. Festival Vacation Idea #3:Albuquerque, New Mexico is host to the International Balloon Fiesta. Here you can see hundreds of hot air balloons all rise together up into the sky. Various balloon competitions and races are part of the festivities. The most spectacular moment is the Balloon Glow where the balloons go up at night and simultaneously fire their burners to light up the sky. They have special shape balloons in the form of various things like flying houses, cars, cacti, ristras, bottles, cans and animals.
