  • YME1280, on 06/30/2009, -0/+9A Sheep Shearing Festival is definitely the most bizarre on the list. Doesn't sound like fun, sounds like a normal work day. I wonder if there's a "Lifting Heavy Objects Festival?"
  • inactive, on 06/30/2009, -0/+7Digg users should go to the Sao Joao festival and hope they get lucky.
  • Kriztov, on 07/01/2009, -0/+6What about the running of the Jew in Kazakhstan?
  • Apocalyptic0n3, on 07/01/2009, -0/+6What about the Fertility Festival in Japan? Aka Penis festival.

  • LoudMusic, on 07/01/2009, -0/+3Excuse me, "Frog Festival"? That's freaking weak.

    Toad Suck Daze is where to go for your tailless amphibian celebrations.

  • afdlips, on 07/01/2009, -0/+3no Burning Man?
  • KillTheAcademy, on 06/30/2009, -0/+3Bufest in Malibu sucked this year, booo
  • missjb, on 06/30/2009, -0/+3your right and wrong: it started as the Church's Whitsun Festival and evolved into the Cheese Rolling Race
  • Skettalee, on 07/01/2009, -0/+2Dugg for Rayne, Louisiana being #3. Thats my hometown that I grew up in until age 20! Rayne is the best! I love the Frog Festival and my parents have even played their cajun music at them before! Miss it!
  • PCloadLetterWTF, on 07/01/2009, -0/+2I've had the privilege of going to the "Batiglia Arancia" in Piemonte and if the tomato throwing festival is number 1... this should be number 2... Having even said that...I would much rather take a tomato to the face than a rock hard citrus grenade.
  • tmyprod, on 07/01/2009, -0/+2I've seen some pretty wild things at Sturgis.
  • Loki101, on 07/01/2009, -0/+2Am I the only one who thinks that they should be tossing oranges at sub-saharan villages instead of each other?
  • negahneorg, on 07/01/2009, -0/+2No Turkey Testicle Festival?

  • thiagobg, on 07/01/2009, -0/+2What about the Mule Day Parade @ Columbia, TN

  • bluekangaroo, on 07/01/2009, -0/+2This makes my top ten list of top ten worst lists.

  • GorfTron, on 07/01/2009, -0/+2I smoke weaners at our local sausage festivals.
  • aceinhibitor, on 07/01/2009, -0/+2"Spending warm summer days, indoors,
    Writing frightening verse to a buck toothed girl in Luxembourg".
    Ask, The Smiths

    Whenever Luxembourg gets mentioned I get this song in my head. I'm not complaining.
  • Super6, on 07/01/2009, -0/+2Louisiana may have the frog festival but Florida has the frog LEG festival:

    I've actually been to it once and had fried frog legs, they taste like a mix between fish and chicken, which is kind of fitting.
  • Laurav2, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1maybe testicle festivals are becoming too common? I only knew of two, the Calf Fry in Stillwater, OK and another 'testicle festival' somewhere in CO, until about 2 months ago. Apparently, central Missouri has one now, too.
  • orangebear, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1Agreed. Easily beats all of the others on the list.

    Hōnen Matsuri
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C5%8Dnen_Matsuri

    From Wikipedia:
    "When the procession makes its way down to Tagata Jinja the phallus in its mikoshi is spun furiously before it is set down and more prayers are said."
  • 1800Hotels, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1#5 Sounds like FUN!
  • skipvt, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1What's so bizarre about Burning Man?
  • borez, on 06/30/2009, -2/+2The cheese rolling is NOT a festival, it's a once a year race.
  • scenariodrunk, on 06/30/2009, -2/+2World Bodypainting Festival from Seebedon, Austria should be on the list... www.bodypainting-festival.com
