The post Great Fall Festivals Around the World appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>Celebrated in late October as the day when monks would traditionally return to daily life after having fasted for the three months prior, this beautiful festival in Laos’s capital includes a night of releasing lit paper lanterns, candles, paper boats, and flowers onto the Mekong River along with prayers. The next day is a boat race on the same river which people come to see from all over the country.
You’ve most likely heard of this festival especially if you saw the not-so-recent Pixar movie Coco, but you may not realize that you can go experience the culture-melding festivities for yourself. The best place to go to view this mixture of Aztec and European tradition is Oaxaca, where the most exciting festivities take place.
If you loved Pirates of the Caribbean or had your Facebook language set to “English (Pirate)” at any point, you might want to head to Georgetown in November to experience the weeklong Pirates Festival. You can dress up like a pirate, talk like a pirate, and drink like a pirate to your heart’s content!
