People wear masks and costumes while walking in the Mardi Gras parade. It is a carnival time for the people who eat lavishly a day before the beginning of the penitential season of Lent. It is a time for sport competitions and dancing. In the USA, it is called Fat Tuesday. Although, Mardi Gras is celebrated with great zeal in Belgium, Brazil, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden and some parts of the United States, yet it is the name of New Orleans that has come to become synonymous with Mardi Gras.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11285\" style=\"width: 613px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/travel\/blog\/activities\/top-10-festivals-and-events\/attachment\/mardi-gras-2\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11285\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11285\" class=\"wp-image-11285 size-my-custom-thumb\" src=\"https:\/\/images.mapsofworld.com\/travel-blog\/Mardi-Gras--603x452.jpg\" alt=\"Mardi Gras Parade\" width=\"603\" height=\"452\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11285\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>People wearing masks and costumes at the Mardi Gras parade.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<h3><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>St Patrick&#8217;s Day<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The 2017 Dublin Saint Patrick&#8217;s Parade and Festival will be held from 16th to 19th March 2017.

Whether you are in the US, Canada, UK, Middle East, Caribbean, Europe, Australia, or New Zealand, you must not miss the St Partick&#8217;s Day parades that are held throughout the world. In 2013 the world&#8217;s biggest St Patrick&#8217;s Day parade was held in New York. As the legend states, St. Patrick used the shamrock to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity to the Irish people. Hence, green color and the shamrock have become the identifying symbols for St Patricks&#8217; Day. People are seen wearing green colored clothes on this day.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11286\" style=\"width: 613px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/travel\/blog\/activities\/top-10-festivals-and-events\/attachment\/st-patricks-day-2\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11286\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11286\" class=\"size-my-custom-thumb wp-image-11286\" src=\"https:\/\/images.mapsofworld.com\/travel-blog\/St-Patricks-Day-603x402.jpg\" alt=\"St Patrick's Day\" width=\"603\" height=\"402\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11286\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>People wearing green colored clothes during St Patrick&#8217;s Day Parade<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<h3><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>Roskilde Festival<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Roskilde Festival is one of the largest music festivals held in Europe.

Dhalpur grounds in Kullu district are the venue for this annual festival. Interestingly, when the entire country burns the effigies of Ravana and winds up Dusshera, it is the time for Dusshera in Kullu to begin. It commences on the day of the Vijay Dashmi (Dusshera), and continues for seven consecutive days. In the 17th century, the then King Jagat Singh placed an idol of Lord Raghunath (Lord Ram) as a mark of penitence and since then Lord Raghunath became the ruling deity of the Kullu valley, and areas in its vicinity. Every year, the idol of Lord Raghunath is brought in a chariot from his temple to the Dusshera ground. Not just people, but all the gods and goddesses of Himachal Pradesh (in the idol form &#8211; manually carried by locals from near or far locations) come to greet their revered lord. Exhibitions, swings, and stalls selling clothes, food, and assorted items are a part of the Dusshera fair. Vendors come from different parts of the country. The International Folk Festival is also held in Kala Kendra, Dhalpur.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11295\" style=\"width: 613px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/travel\/blog\/activities\/top-10-festivals-and-events\/attachment\/kullu-dusshera\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11295\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11295\" class=\"size-my-custom-thumb wp-image-11295\" src=\"https:\/\/images.mapsofworld.com\/travel-blog\/kullu-Dusshera-603x452.jpg\" alt=\"Dusshera in Kullu\" width=\"603\" height=\"452\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11295\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>Rituals being performed during Dusshera in Kullu<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<h3><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>Christmas<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Christmas is celebrated with great excitement all over the world on 25th December every year.
