Like conventions, festivals usually take place at regular annual intervals in the same place. Festivals can range in variety from arts festivals all the way to storytelling and renaissance festivals. Festivals consist of large gatherings of groups of people that come together on a certain day or days to enjoy the event at hand. They originated as religious events that were in place to worship gods of that certain time of the year but in recent times, religious festivals are usually kept within the churches themselves instead of being family outings like they were before.
Music festivals are the most common type of festivals and they usually involve thousands of people gathering in a field or a park for a few days to watch their favorite bands. Music festivals consist of many different types of music but ones that have popular musical acts are the most common. With many stages full of musicians performing at once it is imperative that you plan ahead and figure out which bands you want to see, what stage they're playing on, and at what time. Building your schedule around bands you really want to see instead of standing in front of one particular stage for the whole event is the best way to enjoy the event.
Other festivals, such as a Renaissance festival are long events that don't require patrons to stay for the whole time to get the full enjoyment. The Renaissance festival, or fair as it's more commonly referred to, is an event where games, performances, and characters are all present to give the attendee a feeling of being back in the middle ages. The Renaissance festival is a family outing where it's easy to take your kids to and bring them home when they get tired. Unlike a music festival where you're more often than not stuck in the park or field until the festival has concluded, Renaissance fairs are easy day trips that are safe and fun for school field trips and families alike.
Whatever type of festival you decide to go to, go prepared. If you're going to a big, all-day event, be sure to bring food and drinks or enough money to hold you over until you get home. Many festivals will have a website that details all of the things you need to bring to survive. Remember to watch your kids and your belongings when you go, there are a lot of people around and it's easy to misplace important things.
