The Burning Man gathering is an annual event held in the Black Rock Desert of Northern Nevada. It begins the Monday prior to Labor Day and concludes on the day of the American holiday. This unusual gathering of people from all walks of life derived its name from the ritual burning of a towering wooden effigy.
One of the most colorful and most exciting festivals is the Great Falls Balloon Festival, taking place August 15, 16 & 17 at Simard & Payne Memorial Park in Lewiston, Maine and Festival Plaza in Auburn, Maine. There are over 30 different balloons floating annually in the ski above Lewinston. Along with these, visitors get the chance to experience amazing fireworks displays, taste what over 30 food booths have to offer or take part in the parade. Here are just a few of the balloons!
It’s a bit much, but we’re only writing about uncommon, wacky things. This time, it’s a citrus festival, where people flash their huge constructions, made mostly of oranges and lemons. There are some places where these kinds of fruits are scarce. When you have too much, just build a huge Trojan horse.
