4 Places To Party On Your Next Vacation

The truth is that each of us has vacations when we can or they leave us, and although we have vacation dates related to the central months of summer, there are those who do not enjoy them during that time. For that reason, we are going to recommend four different places to go on a trip in each of the four seasons and enjoy the party to the fullest, and sometimes in a surprising way.

A party for every season

For spring: the Songkran Water Festival

We are talking about the beginning of the new Buddhist year that is celebrated in Thailand. The reasons for a trip to Thailand can be very varied, from its beaches to surfing, through gastronomy or discovering the charm of Bangkok, one of the most visited cities in the world. But now we suggest you have fun with this party .

Songkran in Sanskrit comes to mean change or transit. And it is that towards the middle of April the entry into a new cycle is celebrated, which has always been celebrated with religious rituals.

However, the affection of the population towards these celebrations is such that little by little they have been losing part of their religious values ​​in favor of a much more popular diversion, in which water is extremely important.

In principle, the water was used to thoroughly cleanse the Buddhas in the temples, and the young people of each house also poured water into the older ones, as a tribute. However, that has evolved into a few days in which everyone takes to the streets with buckets, squirt guns and even hoses, ready to wet each other and prolong an indescribable water battle for hours, which also usually coincides with the days hottest of the year in these latitudes.

For the summer: the Summerfest

We are going to change the continent. Now we are going to the city of Milwaukee in the state of Wisconsin, USA There, on the shores of Lake Michigan, Summerfest has been celebrated in June for several decades. A festival that lasts 11 days full of concerts in which great rock and roll stars always appear.

The main stage will be found in the Henry Maier Park, and the character that gives its name to that park was a mayor of the city that in the middle of the last century discovered Munich Oktoberfest (about which we are going to talk to you below) and decided that he wanted something similar in his city.

And it certainly did, at least the festive atmosphere, since the Summerfest has been active for more than 50 years and all the greats of rock have passed through here, being one of the most prestigious music festivals in the United States and, therefore, of the world.

For the fall: Oktoberfest

The beer festival par excellence has been held between September and October in Munich since 1810. In other words, it is a most traditional festival full of rituals that go beyond drinking huge amounts of beer and eating sausages.

The festival arose that distant year of the 19th century when Prince Luis I of Bavaria and Teresa of Saxony got married. It was then that the brewers gathered to celebrate the event. And also in memory of that episode, the party continues to be held in Teresa’s park or Theresienwiese.

One of the qualities of this Munich party, which is attended by millions of people from all over the planet, is that only beers with an “oktoberfest” category and with a certain degree are served here, which coincidentally are all made in Munich.

For winter: the Mayrhofen Snowbombing

We will end up in the snow, in Austrian Tyrol, on the Mayrhofen ski slopes. The best place to celebrate the end of the ski season, as the Mayrhofen Snowbombing Festival is held here every afternoon.

The event consists of programming concerts of the most varied, although especially electronic music, on the tracks or in its surroundings. These concerts can be in the forest, on a farm or on improvised stages, and they always bring together snow, music and also a lot of humor, since costumes are usually common.

This festival is a creation of the 21st century as it emerged on the slopes of France, and later moved to Switzerland. From there he finally settled in Mayrhofen, where he has established himself in recent years, due to the success achieved and the extraordinary communications there.

By the way, if you don’t go in winter because skiing isn’t your thing, this place is worth any month of the year to enjoy a most fascinating place in the Alps.
