annual festivals

Annual festivals are scheduled events celebrated once a year, often reflecting cultural, religious, or historical traditions. They bring communities together through rituals, performances, food, and activities that honor shared heritage or significant occasions. These festivals serve to preserve cultural identity, promote social cohesion, and offer entertainment. Examples include religious holidays like Christmas or Diwali, harvest festivals, and national celebrations. Typically planned in advance, they can vary greatly in scale and customs, offering participants a chance to connect with their roots and enjoy collective festivities.
