What shitty festivals does your town put on?

Haha... The Pinecone Festival!

 

We have mayfest, and chiaha. Both are so so

 

we get the mayfair where a bunch of inbreads come and put up about 20 rides through the center of town

 

fringe festival - bunch of plays and stuff, though the dance shows are usually good

shakespeare on the saskatchewan - two shakespeare plays redone in a new setting, like the 80's or something

exhibition - just a bunch of rides and stuff, but everybody makes a big deal out of it. i think it's lame, but i do live in hicksville

jazz festival - bunch of different jazz artists come over and play... some free concerts but mostly paid ones

i'm sure there's more, those are the only ones I can remember

 

The lake outside of my dad's hometown used to have an Elk Festival. Yep. Elk... as in big deer. Trooper played at it one year, but mostly it was just local bands, with booths set up talking about the importance of Elk in the regional ecosystem. Teenagers got drunk from smuggling beer from the beer gardens, Young men got into fights because thats what young drunk men do. Some people spent the night in local drunk tanks, and the next morning the sandy beach was littered with used condoms.
All in celebration of the wonderous Elk.

 

sheetsfest (sounds crappie when you translate it) rembrandtfestival uhm, october 3th is a local holiday...yeah...

 

id rather have rembrandtfestival than the flea infested mayfair

 

haha, i heard about that from a friend of mine whos going to law school there

according to him theyve already had parties that have been broken up with tear gas

 

Lovely... I haven't heard about those, but I am only a couple blocks from the infamous Aberdeen St....my kids like to watch all the purple people in bizarre outfits walking up to the homecoming football game....it's like the carnival is in town...

 

Let's see... They have Bayfest (Music festival downtown) umm.. I think some kind of chili festival contest thingy, a beer fest of some sort last month I believe, ummm, Greekfest coming up this month I believe, and a bunch of other shit, plus lots of parades and crap. Yeah..

 

Oh yeah.. Friday 13th... I totally forgot about that, and its HUGE.

It kinda gets to me now, seeing as it usually consists of me staying home while my mom and her boyfriend take their motorcycles into town, because of some ridiculous reason they've made up... The smell of all that leather can be quite sickening after a while too(i'm not vegetarian or anything but... blegh..).

 

festival? oh yeah thats right my home town doesnt have a festival, there is ness creek but thats not a shitty festival its grand

 

we have the Boucherie(french for the Butcher shop) in Sorrento(village right next to where i live where my mom grew up)
And we have the Jambalaya festival in Gonzales..which is also right here and is the main city around where i live..



incedentally, sorrento is the boucherie capitol of the world, and gonzales the jambalaya capitol of the world.





yeehaw.

 

arttown, hot august nights, great reno balloon race, great reno italian festival, there is more, but it illudes me atm


arttown is awesome....

 

We have The Pecan Festival. If you like pecans and drunk people this is the place for you.

Then there's the Corn Festival. See above for description.

Kotiel Trade Days. It's a big flea/handmade goods market/bike rally. It's pretty awesome.

Then there's Cenlabration. Live music by the riverside and a carnival.

And lastly, The Festival of Lights on Nachitoches. Millions of christmas lights, a parade, live music by the river, fireworks, and carnival food. Good times.

 

We have art festivals and the Cowboy and Indian festival, oh and the strut your mutt thing. I think that's about it for my tiny town. Oh and my town hosts a pow wow every year.
