It doesn’t matter where you’re from, everyone loves a good party. All you need is a lot of booze, a ton of people, and some loud music, and you have a combination that always leads to a damn good time, no matter what the occasion.
Luckily, there are plenty of crazy gatherings for all you party animals out there, some well known, others only locally heard of, but all with thousands of people just like you who are there for one reason: to have the best, most drunken time possible without causing their own deaths.
These are my picks for the top 10 biggest parties around the world.
The San Diego Street Scene
What? – A two day party held on several blocked off streets, featuring a ton of live bands, and even more booze.
When? – Annually, on the 19th and 20th of September
Where? – In San Diego’s Gas Lamp District, spanning across several a seven mile radius.
Spain’s La Tomatina
What? – The most epic food fight of all time, where tens of thousands of people flock to the streets to hit strangers with rotten tomatoes, an activity that is great for releasing stress.
When? – Every August, on the last Wednesday of the month.
Where – In the Valencia town of Buñol, Spain,
The New Orleans Jazz Fest
What? – One of the biggest music festivals in the world, that features hundreds of bands over a week long period. You can see some of the most famous bands on the market, as well as many lesser known jazz bands. The 2009 line up includes such names as Aretha Franklin, James Taylor, and the Dave Mathew’s Band.
When? – Week 1 runs from April 25th to the 27th. Week two begins on May 1st and runs to the 4th.
Where? – New Orleans, Louisiana. There are a number of cubes that hold the bands, and you can find out more about then at http://www.satchmo.com.
Glastonbury Music Festival
What? – Another huge music festival, running the span of three days. The number of guests every years easily exceed 150,000, and there are hundreds of musical acts. Be sure to bring your camping gear, and anything else you would like to help keep you comfortable.
When? – June, on the last weekend of the month.
Where? - Pilton, England.
Ko Pang Ngan’s Full Moon Party
What? – Drawing tens of thousands of people a year, this has long been considered the ‘backpackers party‘. Unlike the other parties on the list, this one is monthly, and if you are looking for an all night drink fest, you will love it. Especially if you are a beach lover.
When? – Every month, on the night of the full moon.
Where? – Ko Pha Ngan, an island in Thailand.
The San Fransisco Bay to Breakers
What? – Technically, this is a foot race that was traditionally run over a mile course. Now, it’s just an excuse to get together a lot of alcohol, dress up in costumes (the more revealing the better), and storm the streets for a huge party.
When? – Every May, on the third Sunday of the month.
Where? – The streets of San Fransisco, California.
Nevada’s Burning Man
What? – The ultimate hippy party, the Burning Man is a festival centered around setting the 72 foot ‘burning man’ alight….and then spend the rest of the time drinking and smoking a lot of weed. It boasts tens of thousands of people annuals, and it one of the most popular parties in the US.
When? – Eight days before Labor Day (which is the first Monday of September).
Where? -Blackroot Desert, Nevada
Germany’s Oktoberfest
What? – A two week drinking binge, no party list in complete without Oktoberfest. Music, women in cleavage revealing dresses, and a whole lot of beer, this is one of the all time greatest festivals in the world.
When? – September 20th – October 10th.
Where? – Munich, Germany.
2). Pamplona’s San Fermin Festival
What? – A festival filled with parades, dancing, and the legendary Encierro, or Bull Run, this is one huge party, and one that you won’t want to miss, proving once again that Spain had the party scene down to an art.
When? – Annually, from July 6th – July 14th.
Where? – Pamplona, Spain.
Brazil’s Carnaval
What? – Probably the most famous party of all, Carnaval is a huge street festival, filled with parades, music, dancing, and plenty of drinking. The costumes are amazing, and the local clubs hold some of the most elaborate (and outrageous) balls and parties you will ever attend.
When? – February 22nd – 28th.
Where? – Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
