Fairs Around the World

All across the world, seasonal fairs are held to celebrate harvest, holidays and trade. People of all ages come out to explore, learn, and catch a thrill on rides. The good folks at Boston.com’s The Big Picture recently posted an amazing photo gallery highlighting some of these festivals, and we wanted to share it with you. It’s just one more example of how we’re all the same, no matter where we’re from. People everywhere enjoy getting together with our community and having a good time. Below we’ve chosen some of our favorite images, but please visit The Big Picture for the full collection with captions on each, so you can see where these festivals took place, and what they are celebrating.
