Spring festivals in Europe

11/02/2016

Europe is beautiful and vibrant with festivals that reflect the identity of each country.

“The Printemps Festival”(France)

Coming to the splendid capital in the early spring, visitors will understand better why the great Hemingway once wrote: "If you are lucky enough to live in Paris in your youth, then no matter where you go for the rest of your life, Paris will stay with you, because Paris is a never-ending feast."

In spring, there will be many events such as Jazz festivals, fashion weeks, street festivals... taking place everywhere in Paris. In the romantic atmosphere, visitors leisurely stroll along the peaceful banks of the Seine River, to have fun, shop for unique souvenirs in the spring festival "La fête du printemps" or visit the flower market Île de la Cité (in Lépine Square, near Notre Dame Cathedral). This place still has a peaceful old flavor of this romantic city of love.

 

 

Île de la Cité flower market is a favorite place of many Parisians because of its abundance of many flowers at affordable prices.

 

Carnival of Venice (Italy)

Considered one of the most attractive spring festivals in the world, Venice Carnival brings visitors back to the golden age of the aristocracy in the 15th century. Taking place every February, the festival brings bustling moments to peaceful Venice. San Marco Square, theaters, and streets become the stage for actors, dancers, musicians, etc. The elaborate costumes of the past are recreated to preserve Venice's unique beauty. Each masquerade mask has a different face, sometimes gentle, sometimes mysterious, sometimes rustic, but also proud, seductive, and challenging, containing all the beauty and rich emotions.

If you want to experience the life of the nobility, visitors can go to the castles in Venice to attend all-night masquerade parties.

 

Maslenitsa (Russia)

The Netherlands is an ideal destination for tourists who want to admire the beauty of millions of spring flowers such as tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, lilies, saffron... Among them, the Keukenhof garden, which is more than 30 hectares wide, is the place with the most brilliant spring in the Netherlands. Flowers are planted between small forests or along rows of trees (with up to 2,500 perennial trees), along winding paths totaling up to 15km long, along winding lakes with flocks of white swans leisurely floating on the water. The whole garden is fragrant with the scent of flowers, with bees and butterflies fluttering around, bringing visitors many interesting experiences.

Russia is famous for many unique festivals that are imbued with the culture of the land of White Birch. However, no folk festival here brings together as much joy and excitement as Maslenitsa, the common festival to bid farewell to the cold winter and welcome the joyful spring.

During the festival, people have fun all week long because they believe that celebrating Maslenitsa in a sad way will bring bad luck and success throughout the year. In the squares, fields and forests, people build castles of ice and snow, effigies, merry-go-rounds, and puppet shows. Everyone enthusiastically participates or cheers for competitions of strength and agility. Men and women sing folk songs together and hold hands to dance in circles.

 

 

Maslenitsa is also known as pancake festival by Russian people.

 

In addition to the above locations, festivals are also held in Belgium, Switzerland, Denmark, Spain, etc. to welcome spring.
