Add the Conwy River Festival, which takes place from July 10 to October 18 to your calendar if you’re all about yacht life and love watersports. It has been running since 1993 and celebrates the little town of Conwy, which boasts a historic medieval castle and a majestic river. If you are not a sailor or particularly drawn to water-based activities, you can still find something to enjoy. Whether it’s your love for quaint towns, shoreside walks, or community spirit, Conwy knows how to keep its guests entertained and in awe.
Barn Day
On Barn Day, celebrated on July 12, we pay homage to the heart of every farm. Sometimes built even before the main house, they are historically the center of the farm, usually accommodating animals, grain, hay, and equipment. In fact, the word ‘barn’ originates from the Old English word for ‘bere,’ or barely, and ‘aem,’ which means storage space.
Tabaski Day
Tabaski, which is observed from May 26 to May 30 this year, is the version of the Muslim Holiday Eid-Al-Adha that is native to the Wolof people of Senegal, and some other countries such as Mali, for example. It is a national public holiday in Senegal to join the rest of Islam in commemorating Eid-Al-Adha, which is a celebration of Ibrahim’s obedience to Allah in accepting to sacrifice his son.
