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.

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.

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 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".

There are several versions on the origin of the word "Carnival". In the Milanise dialect, Carnevale means "the time when the use of meat is taken away", since Carnival is precisely the night before Ash Wednesday. In Brazil, the event is the greatest popular cultural manifestation besides soccer. It is a mixture of fun, party and theater which involves art and folklore.

The town of San Francisco celebrations are relatively young, if compared to Venezia or Rio de Janeiro, but nevertheless its energy it's there to make performers and public vibrate. Parade is always the 4th Sunday of May or Memorial Weekend (thus disconnected from the catholic traditions), the parade lasts one day only and begins at Bryant & 24th at 10am. Then it heads down the Mission Street to 15th where the parade dissolves in beer and more dancing. The show continues until 6pm. Of course the celebration goes on privately after hours, but that's another story
