Parrrrrrrrrty Time is here.... and we have created a full list of all the events we know, if we have missed any please let us know.


17th January, SPAIN - San Anton Festival (Festival of Animals) many events happening all over Spain.

22nd - 25th January SWEDEN, Kiruna Snow Festival - It's all white in the snowy north as reindeers race, dog sleds drift and artists sculpt ice into fantasy forms.

27th January SCOTLAND, Up Helly Aa - 'Europe's largest fire festival', a spectacular community tradition celebrating their rich Viking heritage, annually held in Lerwick, Shetland. Costume marches, torchlight parades, burning a viking boat and the parties go on and on long after the last flames fade away.

31st January - 17th February ITALY, Venice Carnival - colourful, fascinating, funny and a superbly costumed environment in spectacular St Mark's Square and the misty, magical streets around. For the full flavour, buy a mask, rent a costume and go to a palazzo ball - the best is the Doge's Ball.

1st, 8th,  12-18th February ITALY, Ivrea Carnival, (Battle of the Oranges), Storico Carnevale di Ivrea, Piedmont district of Turin - another colourful carnival, but with a different ending as the whole town partakes in a monstrous orange fight, Battaglia delle Arance.

1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, 28th February ITALY, Viareggio Carnival - Italy's maddest event with parades sporting huge puppets among the kaleidoscope folk, revelry of all sorts and fireworks...BUT mainly on successive Sundays.

12th - 18th February SPAIN, Sitges Carnival near Barcelona.

12th - 18th February GERMANY, Cologne Carnival (Kolner Karneval) - Germany's answer to Mardi Gras, a huge event marking the beginning of Lent, local festivities and the highlight being "the crazy days", the street carnival, and the monster Rose Monday parade on the 16th.

12th - 18th February GERMANY, Dusseldorf Carnival - another massive, outrageous and psychedelic occasion; Sunday is probably the best (wacky dress) parade, with Rose Monday seeing many floats and processions.

12th -22nd February CYPRUS, Limassol Carnival - Almost two weeks of celebrations await you focused on creative fun and dancing events as well as amazing Mediterranean food. The first week is Meat Week (Kreatini) representing the last week of eating as much meat as possible before Lent. Other events include the procession of the Carnival King, the Children’s Carnival Parade, the Serenader’s Parade as well as the Grand Carnival Parade.

13th February - 1st March FRANCE, Nice Carnival, the Cote d'Azur - a brilliant event on the lovely promenade of a terrific city, but not every day and parades are basically the same so one is probably enough. And half an hour along the coast Menton is having a small but colourful Lemon Festival during approximately the same period.

15th - 17th February BELGIUM, Binche Carnival, south of Brussels.

27th February - 28th March (2 weeks around  St Joseph's Day) GERMANY, Munich, Strong Beer Festival (also known as Strong Beer Season), Starkbierzeit, a traditional beer-swilling, belly-swinging, guttural-singing, mostly German celebration.

14th - 17th March IRELAND, Dublin St Patrick's Festival and St Patrick's Day Parade - a wild, green five days, including a huge parade on the 17th.

15th - 19th March SPAIN, Fallas de Valencia - a madly explosive carnival/fiesta combination that will blow your socks off. Locals spend 5 days partying - parades, pageants and moderate fireworks then on the last night, they turn off all the city lights and set fire to hundreds of massive papier-maché statues stuffed with fireworks around the city.
