Of Festivals And Parties

Festivals are very popular here in my country and in fact everywhere you go here you’ll find great festivities and most of these festivals are world renown like Sto. Niño festival in Cebu City, Ati-atihan in Aklan, and Timpumpo in Kidapawan. If you have extra resources and you really want to be in a great festival outside the Philippines then you must check Edinburgh. Edinburgh is famous for its festivities and the most famous among these celebrations is the Edinburgh Festival which starts at the end of June and ends at the start of September every year. This festival activity includes a programme of high-profile theatre productions and classical music performances, featuring international directors, conductors, theatre companies and orchestras. And perhapsone of the most popular science festivals can be seen in Edinburgh too - Edinburgh International Science Festival. It would really be nice to experience festivals from different cities abroad and compare it to what we are already experience here in my country.
