Misleadingly billed as "The First Ever Gathering of Giants" the Yeovil Scrapstore did produce a good turnout of giant puppets on 22nd July 2000. The event took place at Yeovil Showground, an unfortunate choice of venue as it's hilltop position left it exposed to the brisk south-easterly breeze and the uneven grassed slopes hampered the participants.

The International Mask Dance Festival was first held in Andong in 1997. That first festival was just a small little thing, one long weekend in length, and though it featured some of the most famous traditional performers in Korea (such as Kim Duk-soo and Ahn Sook-sun) it was nothing compared to the well organized, incredibly fascinating spectacle put on this year. Through trial and error the Mask Dance Festival has now emerged in my opinion as one of the most memorable, fascinating and fun times to be had in Korea. Now featuring a permanent stage area, with a state of the art sound system and bathrooms with paper towels in them (gasp), the most interesting sites are not always on the stage.

The origins of this enchanting and dazzling celebration lie in the community spirit and appreciation of artistic expression; there is nothing like it anywhere else. Artist and mime Michael Gonzales, to celebrate his birthday, conceived the Parade in 1974. From its humble beginnings as a group of street artists, the Summer Solstice Celebration has evolved into a street carnival of more than 1,000 parade participants, complete with extravagant floats, whimsical costumes and creatively choreographed dancing ensembles. It is the largest single-day event in Santa Barbara County, drawing crowds from near and far of 100,000 spectators.

The Putignano Carnival can boast two records, one being, that it is one of the oldest and the other as one of the world's longest. One of the oldest because some researches have found records dating back to 26 December, 1394. Its fame as one of the longest derives from the fact that like all carnivals is ends the day of Marti Gras but starts unbelievingly the 26 December, with the multi-centennial tradition of the "Propaggine".

On the fourth weekend of August, the "Ducasse" festivities take place in Ath's historical centre. For a few days, the whole town is vibrant with enthusiasm for its traditions and folklore. On Saturday, after Goliath's wedding, the giant fights against the shepherd boy David. On Sunday, there is a procession with several giants, floats and picturesque groups going through the streets of the city. This medieval tradition has become more and more attractive. Ath's inhabitants proudly take part in the historic and folkloric procession. After the vespers of Saturday, everybody eats a piece of the local and tasty "Masteilles" tart.

PRE-CHRISTIAN TRADITIONS Carnival originated from pre-Christian traditions of the peasantry of Europe and other continents. Peasants live intimately with nature. They depend on good weather for good harvests. They rejoice when they reap abundantly. That's why they tried to influence the insecure factors affecting their crops by means of ceremonies and rituals.......
