A festival is a special event. It is celebrated by a community for religious, traditional or

determined by the calendar. During festivals, people share love and enjoyment.
Here are some examples from around the world:
May Day, England
Children in England celebrate the end
of winter and the arrival of spring on May
1. A maypole is decorated with flowers and
streamers. Children hold the streamers
and dance around the pole. A May Queen is
crowned each year.
Holi
Hindus have this festival in March to
celebrate the arrival of spring. Between
drinks, food and a lot of music, people
throw coloured powders and paints at
each other.
Yi Peng Lantern Festival,
Thailand
The celebration is a symbol to obtain
Buddhist merit. So many people are
attracted by the lights in the air.
