A Year Full of Celebrations and Festivals: Over 90 fun and fabulous festivals from around the world!: Volume 6

Countless different festivals are celebrated all over the world throughout the year.

Dance your way through the streets of Brazil at Carnival, get caught up in a messy tomato fight in Spain at La Tomatina or add a splash of colour to your day at the Holi festival of colours.
