Where to Celebrate Cinco de Mayo
Attending a local festival or being in a country during a national holiday are great ways to dig deeper into the culture. But you don’t always need to travel to the place you think in order to join in on a specific event. For example, one of the biggest St. Patrick’s Day parades is held in Chicago and there are Bastille Day celebrations all over the world, not just in France.

Celebrating Songkran in Thailand
Ask frequent travelers for their favorite time to visit popular destinations and you’re bound to hear “the shoulder seasons” as a common reply. Shoulder seasons usually offer the best combination of good weather and lower prices, which means more bang for your tourist buck. In some places, however, the shoulder season also happens to be the time when a country’s biggest celebrations take place. Such is the case with Thailand’s Songkran Festival, which takes place in the middle of April every year and marks the start of the New Year.
