If you have a taste for the bizarre, an interest in foreign customs or are just plain curious as to what gets celebrated in far away lands, we've got the inside deal from dozens of writers and photographers who've experienced a wide range of fascinating festivals and events first hand.

What we're really aiming at, is to provide a channel for quality festival focused travel writing and travel photography on the web. Not so much an, "I went here and saw this then had an egg sandwich" type experience. More a, "I was swept up in a crowd of ten thousand revelers, horns blew and champagne flowed" kinda thing, with a touch of history and culture added to the mix.
