FESTIVALS AROUND THE GLOBE
Harbin Ice & Snow Sculpture
Festival
Date: Jan 5 - Feb 28, 2016
Place: Harbin, China
At the Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival,
you’ll get into a habit of dropping your jaw—that is until your
teeth start chattering. Set in Harbin’s coldest months, this
festival features breath-taking works of art, all fashioned with
ice from the Songhua River. Between the four primary parks
and amusement zones, there are more than a thousand
sculptures, not to mention all the ice architecture created
throughout the city. The two month festival is a must-see for
families and gives a whole new meaning to the name Winter
Wonderland.

In a region of postcard-perfect mountain scenery
surrounding Canada’s highest town (at 4,540

not celebrate it? With the best of snowy fun,
sports and food for an entire month in Banff
National Park, this snowy party is open to all
comers—adults and kids alike. After all the fun
and food, make sure you to enjoy the majestic
views of the park and spend some quiet time in
the wide-open wonderland among the snow and
ice. That’s the perfect finale for Banff SnowDays.

World Buskers Festival
76 Travel Secrets November-December 2015
Date: Jan 14 - 24, 2016
Place: Christchurch, New Zealand
You know all those freakishly talented people
you’ve encountered in a comedy club,
burlesque show, or as part of a circus act?
Since 1993, dozens of them have been coming
together to demonstrate their own unusual and
entertaining skills at this festival in Christchurch,
New Zealand.
World Buskers Fest is the brainchild of
Jodi Wright who runs it in conjunction with
Christchurch City Council. Over the course of 11
days, it typically attracts about 300,000 people
who come to see nearly 500 unpredictable
performances.
