Summary: There are a lot of weird festivals in the world. But among them, there are 10 weirdest festivals.
1) Camel Wrestling Festival in Turkey
This festival is the tradition of Turkey and they enjoy to see that camels are fighting. It's held on December to January.
2) Baby Jumping Festival in Spain
On this festival, some people who wear like the devils jump over babies who are lying on mattresses because they believe that if they jump over babies, the evil things on the babies will be removed. It's held on June.
3) Burning Man Festival in U.S.A
On this festival, there is no such rule and people just behave how they want to. It's time for expressing himself to others.
So some people can't understand those people but the people who are on this festival enjoy it.

7) Roswell UFO Festival in U.S.A
People on this festival celebrate the mysteries about UFO so they welcome a person who is interested in UFO or something like that.
8) Day of the Dead in Mexico
This day is called "All Saints' Day" and "All Soul's Day" in Catholic. People celebrate the dead.
9) Ivrea Orange Festival in Italy
The people arm with oranges only and fight with others by throwing orange.
10) Venice Carnival in Italy
On this festival, people are wearing masks so that they can hide themselves from others.
Opinion: I think like these kinds of festivals look very weird but people can enjoy it so I really join in the La Tomatina Festival in Spain. I want to feel what kind of pain will occur when I am hit with tomatoes. I think it will be fun.
But the thing that I want to criticize is that festivals are so good but sometimes there are very seriously weird festivals. The festivals which are so dirty sexually and can influence people in bad ways mentally. I think those festivals should be removed. Although people enjoy it, it's not the good thing that human do.
The thing that I feel upset is that Korean festival is not included on this article. There are a few festivals in Korea which I know. But actually those are not that weird. However, I hope there would be some weird but enjoyable festivals in Korea so that people will be happier than now and they will be familiar each other by participating the festivals together.
