They might be cleaning up the beads from Mardi Gras in New Orleans, but here at Lonely Planet, we see it as the beginning of the party.
It is the start of festival season, and beyond longer days and warmer weather, there is so much to celebrate.
Our beloved events are returning to their full strength this year and we couldn't be more excited. If you missed the chance to grab your beads and head to Mardi Gras this year, there are plenty of festivals worth traveling for in the year ahead. Don white for Holi, get boho for Coachella or plan to belt out “Ein Prosit” at Oktoberfest. The party is on.
Which festival have you always wanted to celebrate?
