number 10 Paris France
this city is a lovely one to visit at
almost any time of the year but one of
the best times is for Bastille Day the
national holiday which takes place on
July 14th is one huge party full of
military parades and fireworks for music
lovers be sure to also check out the
pitchfork music festival in late October
as well as the hawk cent festival which
attracts major musical acts every August
number nine Berlin Germany this is a
city full of history architecture and
universities but it’s also got plenty of
festivals that are among the best in the
world there’s been an L which is the
film festival with the highest public
attendance in the world the festival of
lights which sees landmarks across the
city lit up in October and music
festivals like Jazz Fest Berlin and the
more electronic focused Berlin Festival
which happens every September number 8
Amsterdam Netherlands the colorful and
very liberal attitude of the city itself
is definitely reflected in the look and
style of its festival events one example
is Queen’s Day which celebrates the
birth of Queen Beatrix of the
Netherlands though it’s now called
King’s day for her eldest son after she
abdicated and is celebrated at the end
of April if you’re there for it be sure
to come out in the streets dressed in
orange there’s also the Amsterdam Pride
a Gay Pride Festival
and parade as well as surprise surprise
the cannabis cup number seven New York
USA in terms of major festivals for arts
culture and just about everything else
there’s something for everyone in New
York City major events include the
Governor’s Ball and the New Yorker
festival as well as New York Fashion
Week and the Tribeca Film Festival both
of which generate hundreds of millions
of dollars each year in other words some
of the world’s best festivals for
culture are in the city that never
sleeps
number six Melbourne Australia
definitely one of the biggest festival
cities on the other side of the Equator
this is one category where the
Australian city certainly does not play
second fiddle to Sydney
aside from festivals like st. Jerome’s
laneway and the Future Music Festival
which stopped in Melbourne but tour
across the country there are other
festivals that are purely local like the
Melbourne Fringe Festival the Melbourne
International Comedy Festival and Moomba
which is a massive community festival
bringing out up to a million people
number five
Austin USA this Texas cities festival
reputation can be best defined by the
four letters SXSW which stand for South
by Southwest yes the festival known as
South by Southwest is a week and a half
long extravaganza for music lovers with
guest speakers film screenings and of
course shows all making for one of the
best music festivals of its length on
earth there’s also the Austin City
Limits Festival which is held over two
weekends and also attracts some big
musical names both festivals keep Austin
hip eventful and of course weird number
four Munich Germany there are many
amazing festivals to take in while
you’re visiting this German city but
none is quite as wild or as big as
Oktoberfest for more than 200 years this
fun Fair has been the place to be for
those looking to drink all kinds of
beers as much as 7 million liters of it
consumed per festival over the course of
more than two weeks there are also
plenty of local delicacies to munch on
whenever you get hungry hint they all
have to do with meat
number three Rio de Janeiro Brazil
you’ve seen it in pictures and on TV and
you may or may not have imagined how
crazy it would be to actually be there
yes
this city’s cal-neva is a huge party
that lasts a couple of days and is held
just before Lent with everything from
huge floats and parades to loud blasting
Samba music to scantily clad women
dancing on the street with two million
people participating per day it owns the
world record for the largest carnival in
the world so don’t be sad it’s Cannavale
number two new orleans USA two words
mardi gras yes the festive season which
translated to english means Fat Tuesday
and is also held just before Lent is one
hell of a street party and then some in
a way it’s basically like the North
American equivalent of Rio’s Cannavale
the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage
Festival is not to be missed either with
major musicians playing the festival
from the realm of traditional music from
New Orleans and the state of Louisiana
to blues rap music and of course jazz
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
[Music]
number one Montreal Canada the list is
almost endless the Montreal
International Jazz Festival DeFranco
folly mikail a Lumia Osheaga and so on
although the weather in the summer time
can be very hot and humid it’s well
worth braving it while you’re out at one
of this Canadian cities world-class
festivals another of this Quebec City’s
biggest draws is the Just for Laughs
festival where many of today’s most
famous comedy stars got early exposure
in short festivals can’t be done much
better than they are in LaBelle clevice
