Aiming to protect the sea lives, this unique custom features musicians playing music below water level. 100 feet deep in clear water, talented musicians wear diving equipment, performing free concerts for sea creatures and humans alike. Rayne Frog (青蛙) Festival, Louisiana, America The Rayne Frog Festival is held every fall in Rayne, Louisiana.
