Before adding this to your itinerary
- Compare timing certainty, access, crowd pressure, and seasonality before choosing a festival anchor.
- The same festival type can feel very different by region, especially for transport, food stalls, and rainy-day plans.
- If the list is short, broaden to nearby months or regions so the page still helps build a realistic itinerary.
