One of the greatest allures of any city is the variety of festivals on offer for domestic and foreign revelers alike. Festivals have been an intrinsic part of our social and cultural histories for millennia. Many of us have encountered them over the years, whether in the realms of music, art, food, film, nature, sports or culture. Indeed, there is a certain thrill that emanates from the vibe of a festival the masses bonding in common celebration, curiosities piqued by thought-provoking or ethereal experiences, and the etching of a lifetime of memories in the process.
