Where To be...
Around the World
July 25th
Sumidagawa, Hatawa Takai, Asakawa, Japan. View gorgeous fireworks over the Sumida river. Originally closed down in 1978, the festival was recently revived so people can watch these fantastic displays.
July 30th—August 16th
Furth im Wald, Germany. Drachenstich. Re-enacts slaying a dragon that threatened medieval German towns. That’s awesome.
July 31st—August 2nd
Lollapalooza, Chicago, USA. Giant music festival. Swarms of teens in small clothing and lots of fried food. Good music though.
August 2nd—3rd
Bridgetown, Barbados
Originally created to celebrate the end of the sugar harvest, this festival has grown to become a two day carnival of food, drink, music and art.
August 7th, 8th
Cooperstown, New York, USA. 50 breweries bring their Belgian style beer to this tiny New York town known otherwise only for its national baseball hall of fame.
August 13th—August 16th
Siena, Tuscany, Italy. The second of two major events, watch jockeys race bareback at incredible speeds. The winner is the first horse to cross the finish line, with or without its rider. This is no Kentucky Derby.
