Unusual, dangerous, or horrible, there’s something for everyone! The Redhead Festival—Melbourne, Australia Allowing those who are different to band together, Melbourne annually gathers 2% of the world’s redheads! In reality, redheads are superheroes! I mean, like Spiderman, they have a gene that changed! Calling all redheads: set off and find your fellow carrots in Melbourne on April 29. Mule Day—Columbia, United States There’s no reason why horses should be the only one to be appreciated. The lower class of Equidae will have its moment! Ride in on your best mule for races, sales, local products, parades and the election of the Queen of Mules (a real woman, but what bad taste!) await you from March 27 to April 2. The Mud Festival—Boryeong, South Korea The last one to get dirty loses! On Daecheon Beach in South Korea, once a year the local people rush into big inflatable (可充气的) rooms filled with mud. There’s magic in this mud because it’s full of nutrients and minerals. It makes the skin as soft as a baby’s bottom! Mud races, wrestling competitions, concerts, mud slides, mud baths, and massages (按摩) await the biggest dirtbags from July 21 to 30. The Baby-Jumping Festival—Murcia, Spain On the second Sunday of June every year, Murcia celebrates an interesting tradition: jumping over babies. The basic idea is that a man is dressed up in a red and yellow costume and jumps like a flying eagle over babies lying on a bed in the street.
