In all the countries of the world there are special dates that are celebrated in style, but as in everything, there are always some that stand out from the rest. These are the most colorful and striking celebrations in the world, which are characterized by gathering many people around a festivity.
In addition to the festival itself, which gives rise to the most colorful celebrations in the world, these stand out for the days, duration, the costumes of the celebration and unique elements such as music, dances or parades.
Seville Fair, Spain: During one week in April, the most important fair in the Andalusian region takes place, which is characterized by the materialization of the famous saying «Seville has a special color». During the event it is normal to see carriage rides, women dressed in flamenco dresses and gypsies, buy sangria, wine, as well as enjoy delicious fish dishes. And of course, singing and dancing sevillanas… in short, celebrating the traditions that characterize the region.
holi, indian: If anything characterizes Hindu culture, it is the wealth of symbols and traditions that are also expressed in clothing, dances and customs, such as Holi, the festival of colors or spring festival. It is a celebration that pays homage to the deities of the country and celebrates the arrival of spring.
During the sixteen days that the festival lasts, Hindus take to the streets and fill them with colored powder to emulate the color of the flowers that symbolize spring. It is also common to see the bonfires in the middle of the streets that are used to represent the triumph of good over evil.
This celebration also has a social impact in India, since on those days the strict rules that separate the rich from the poor and regulate the treatment between men and women are relaxed.
brazil carnival: Carnival is a must when it comes to colorful celebrations. But the carnivals of Brazil are something apart. These are characterized by typical costumes, fireworks that are complemented by the rhythm and the dance of the samba to steal the attention of the whole world. Of the carnivals that are celebrated throughout the country, those of Rio de Janeiro stand out, thanks to the impotent parades that manage to gather visitors from all over the world.
Chinese New Year: It is clearly a celebration that takes place in all its splendor in China, but also in the great capitals of the world where an important Asian population congregates.
It is the most important celebration in Chinese culture that is done to say goodbye to winter and start spring.. Although it is enjoyed among friends and family, the most exciting thing is to go out into the streets and enjoy the spectacle of dragons, fire and people dressed in red, who come together to remember this celebration of agricultural origin, with 4000 years of history.
Throughout the world there are important celebrations, but those that are lived in full color and are characterized by their joy are incomparable and difficult to forget.
