Festivals are so much fun! There are your everyday run of the mill local festivals and then we have the big wonderful festivals like the sundance film festival which the largest independent cinema festival in the United States. The other great film festival is the cannes film festival, which takes place in Cannes, South of France Both festivals are widely reknown as film festivals. And if you ever get a chance to go to one, they are so much fun! It's almost like being in las vegas and having time to see all of the las vegas events.
Another great festival which is not as widely known but just as big. And just as much fun is the montreal jazz festival. The Montreal Jazz festival is the largest Jazz festival in the world. This festival takes place the later part of June and the first week of July, and for me its almost like a great new years eve party. Many people even schedule their corporate events around these festivals, that way some of the corporate executives can enjoy some of the festival events. The cities where these festivals take place make sure that they don't plan any other event or even sporting event during the period of the festival. Otherwise fans would lose out on either the sporting event or the festival.
