festivals

Looking for somewhere to have a good time? Festivals, no matter how strange, bring out the

best in creativity. A festivalgoer can celebrate animals, insects, foods, historical events, and

just about any other topic under the sun. It's easy to fill your calendar with events, just check

out these examples.

1. Frozen Dead Guy Days (ederland, Colorado)

The fun at the annual Frozen Dead Guy Days festival heats up Nederland during Colorado's

typically frosty March. The fest commemorates a cryogenically preserved Norwegian who

has been kept in a shed by his grandson since 1994. Visitors are encouraged to come dressed

as a frozen or dead character to a dance called "Grandpa's Blue Ball." Coffin races and

a parade featuring antique hearses are among the liveliest attractions, along with salmon

tossing and a frozen beach volleyball tournament . The event started in 2002 and annually

attracts about 7,000 visitors.

2. anaimo Marine Festival (anaimo, British Columbia)

At the Nanaimo Marine Festival held in midJuly, up to 200 "tubbers" compete in the Great

International World Championship Bathtub Race across a 36mile course. Using just about

any conceivable watercraft, most of which at least vaguely resemble a bathtub, contestants

must make it to Vancouver's Fisherman's Cove across the Straits of Georgia. The first race

was held in 1967 and activities have expanded since to include a food fair, craft show,

Kiddies' Karnival, and waiters' race.

3. BugFest (Raleigh, orth Carolina)

Billed as the nation's largest singleday festival featuring insects, BugFest attracts around

25,000 people to Raleigh each September. The event started in 1997 and now covers bee

keeping demonstrations, a flea circus, and roach races. The festival features many exhibits on

insects, from live spiders and centipedes , to displays on how bugs see. At Café Insecta,

festivalgoers can sample Buggy Bean Dip with Crackers, Wax Worm Stew , fried Cantonese

Crickets over rice, and Three Bug Salad, among other nicely named goodies that actually

include worms, ants , and related insects raised for cooking.

4. Faux Film Festival (Portland, Oregon )

For anyone who loves fake commercials or movie trailers, Portland's Faux Film Festival is

the ticket to a surreal filmic nevernever land. Mockumentaries and other celluloid spoofs are

among the dozens of goofy entries shown in the historic 460seat Hollywood Theatre. Past

viewings have included the silly classic, It Came from the Lint Trap and the quirky The Lady

from Sockholm , a film noir featuring sock puppets . The fest is usually staged at the end of

March, with a packed house at each screening.

5. Contraband Days Pirate Festival (Lake Charles, Louisiana)

Legend has it that buccaneer Jean Lafitte buried an enormous treasure somewhere along

Lake Charles's sandy shoreline. Since 1958, Contraband Days Pirate Festival, which attracts

more than 100,000 people, has been honouring the legend each May. Perhaps one of the

funniest sights of the festival is when the mayor is made to walk the plank after pirates take

over the town. The chief is naturally rescued quickly, then is free to enjoy the rest of the fest

with its carnival, arm wrestling competition, sailboat regatta, and bed races. With an eclectic

selection of nearly 100 different events, Contraband Days is frequently chosen by the

American Bus Association as a Top 100 Event in North America.
