Whether to honour their gods, or traditions, or sometimes it seems just finding an excuse for a big street party, each part of the world has it's share of great festivals.

From ancient tribal rituals in Papua New Guinea, to post-modern pagan parties in the American desert, Justine Shapiro and her fellow travellers take you on a month-by-month, year-long, round-the-world celebration.
