Alphabet game - FESTIVAL

[Cassel]

 

In March, our monthly theme is FESTIVAL.

 

Can you think of locations where festivals are held? Or the name of a festival? Or an activity associated with a festival? As we were very busy in February and didn't seem to have much time for a theme that should have been easy, let's hope we have a bit more time for this one.

 

Let's go!

 

Because I want more people to jump in the game, I will ask to NOT post two consecutive answers (unless there is a 24 hour period without an answer since it could mean we are stuck)
