There are many famous festivals around the world.The Carnivals in Rio de Janeiro and Venice，Munich's Oktoberfest and London's Notting Hill Carnival are three examples.There are，however，festivals going on somewhere in the world every day of the year.These range from very large events which involve whole cities to local celebrations in tiny villages or neighbourhoods of towns or cities.We have selected a few of the more unusual，colourful festivals from around the world.
   Australia Day Cockroach（蟑螂） Races：Brisbane，Queensland，Australia
   "Racing is simple...the races are held in a circular track and cockroaches are then let go from an upturned bucket in the middle...first to the edge is a winner.Things are made a little more difficult in the steeplechase（障礙賽） events where a circular fence is used to enhance the spectacle and test the cockroach talent."
   Canberra Sled Dog Classic：Canberra，Australian Capital Territory，Australia
   Dog sledding is one of the fastest growing sports on the east coast of Australia.As there's no snow （the trail is earth and sand and is smooth and wide with a few hills and turns），the sleds have wheels instead of runners，but the excitement is the same.
   Darwin Beer Can Regatta（劃船比賽）：Darwin，Northern Territory，Australia
   This local charity event brings together great engineers and great drinkers.Participants construct everything from life-size beer-can canoes to beer-can Viking warships during this off-the-wall regatta.
   La Tomatina：Bunol，Spain
   "The tomato battle is in honor of Saint Luis Beltran.Residents and visitors take part in a tomato-throwing battle that uses more than 88，000 pounds of tomatoes.This crazy event began with a serious aim as a symbolic protest against Franco.But the Tomatina is now regarded as an amusing way to end the summer."
