Dia de los Muertos (Mexico) Beginning at the midnight of October 31 and lasting through November 2, it is a festival when families gather together to remember those loved ones who have died. To honor the deceased, Mexican families prepare private altars (系坛) in their tomes. On top of them they'll put photos of the dead and their favorite food. They also visit the graves of their beloved ones and place offerings there to pay their respects to the dead. Holi (India) Holi, popularly known as "the festival of colors", is an ancient Hindu festival which signifies the end of winter and the victory of good over evil. Celebrated mostly in India usually in March, the festival lasts for a night and a day. During the festival, people wet each other with water balloons and water guns, then they throw color powder on one another. There are also marching bands, dancing, food and drink, and much laughter. A great number of people are infected by its playful and childlike atmosphere. La Tomatina (Spain) As a big food fight, it is possibly the most chaotic (混乱的) festival. According to records, the festival dates back to a parade in which some naughty teenagers knocked one performer off his stilts (高跷) and caused a fight of throwing vegetables accidentally. It was once banned until 1957 when the locals held a protest with a mock funeral. They carried a coffin containing a huge tomato as bands played a funeral march. Finally, in the decades since, La Tomatina has become a popular event which attracts lots of tourists to have fun. If you happen to join in the event, be aware that you squash the tomato before throwing it. Have a great time but avoid causing any injury. 1.Which festival in China is si
