What's the best festivals you've ever attended? Did you blog about them?
Reply to this One of my favorite festivals (if not the best) is the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival held in Mt. Vernon, Washington USA each spring. Acres and acres of beautiful flowers in bloom - in fact, it's going on
right now and I'm not there, which makes me somewhat sad.

The
Colorado Brewers Festival also tops my list.
Reply to this Another favorite: The Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, the world's largest balloon festival. A photographers' paradise, for those willing to get up early enough:

Reply to this We loved the Ati-Atihan Festival in Kalibo, Philippines when we went.
Music, drums & colourful costumes were all included and we had a brilliant time. Everyone is pulled into the processions and each evening there are big parties.. then the next day it's back to the processions for a whole weekend. Brilliant fun and it took a while to get the drum beat out your head.
Bang Bang to the Beat of the Drum...
Reply to this Songkran, thai vegetable festival and the byron bay blues and roots festival is awesome.
Reply to this There is a festival named as Diwali in India. That is great.
Reply to this All music lovers head to Key West for the Trop Rock Festival. Early November a few thousand Buffet fans head to Key West to hear beach music. Colorful people of all ages (many baby boomers). Jimmie Buffet has never made an appearance at this gather but that does not stop these people from being hopeful. We found many, many good bands and no one really needed Jimmie Buffet to be among them.
Here is a tune from one of our favorites.
Parrot Heads, Jell-O Shots and the Conch Republic Reply to this Reykjavik is a hot bed of musicians and they have several music fest throughout the year. Last year while we were visiting Iceland we managed to be present for a big event. We really enjoyed it and recommend that all music lovers go.
This blog is not just about the music festival but that information is incorporated into this Icelandic blog.
Blowing off some steam in Reykjavik Reply to this We agree with Stephanie that the Skagit Valley tulip festival is one of the best. Although we also love the Sequim Lavendar Festival. When we lived in the Seattle we went most years. We prefer to go the week before the actual festival as the crowds are smaller.
Add this one to your list if you have not been.

Ezra, since we are in the medical field we have been getting up at 5am for years to go to work. The 3am thing was not too much of a problem. Since we are morning people it would be harder for us to stay up until midnight but we do it a few times a year.
