Celebrating the world — month after month

Every place in this world has its soul — and it often reveals itself most impressively when there is a celebration. Whether colourful chaos, archaic rituals or quiet ceremonies under millions of stars: festivals are the beating heart of a culture.

Around the world, there are moments when time seems to stand still — when entire cities sink into samba, flying lanterns rise into the sky like fireflies or monks clad in golden robes murmur ancient prayers.

These events tell stories of gods and spirits, of triumph and mourning, of people celebrating their roots — or simply life. Some have grown over centuries, others are modern myths born of art, music, and community.

This calendar is your compass through the year of special moments: 12 months full of inspiration, magic and unforgettable experiences.

Pack your suitcase. The next flight may not just take you to one place — but to the centre of a feeling.
