Some unique festivals with a touch of peculiarity still occur annually in many countries around the world.
1. Mask Festival in Venice, Italy
Although there are hundreds of mask festivals worldwide, none are as elaborate and elevated as the one in Venice, Italy. First appearing in 1296, this festival had a long hiatus and has been regularly held since 1980, annually in February. Wearing masks is a way for Venice to erase social classes, age gaps, wealth boundaries, and gender... Today, the festival lasts for two weeks.
