Wanderlust Wednesday: Festivals of the World

Jun 4, 2014 — by Griffin Thall

A festival is more than just live music and a good time; it's a celebration of life. Almost every country has their signature celebration and when that time of year comes around, they go big. We were ecstatic to kick off festival season with Coachella but little did we know there's so many more! Kicking off the new year in China and ending with a Santa Run in Wales. There's a few that are a bit odd and others that I'm adding to my bucket list right now. Side note: the dates are when the festivals begin in 2015, so start planning now!
