Asia Celebrates: Your Festival Travel Wishlist (and a few of my favourites)

Looking to experience the most vibrant and culturally rich festivals in Asia? From lantern festivals in Taiwan to street parades in Thailand, Asia Celebrates is your go-to resource for discovering the best festivals across the continent.

Asia is a continent alive with color, rhythm, tradition, and unforgettable experiences—and no better way to dive into its rich cultures than through its festivals.

I’ve always been drawn to the energy, color, and meaning behind festivals—how they bring people together, tell stories through tradition, and turn everyday places into something magical. Over the years, I’ve been lucky enough to experience a few of Asia’s most unforgettable celebrations—and there are still so many I can’t wait to explore.

That’s what inspired me to create Asia Celebrates. At Asia Celebrates, I share with you the diverse world of Asian festivals—from the dazzling lights of city celebrations to the soul-stirring rituals in remote villages. Whether you're curious about vibrant street parades, ancient spiritual gatherings, or culinary feasts, find your next great cultural adventure..

🎉 A Personal Journey Through Asia’s Celebrations

Some of the festivals featured on this site are places I’ve been and fallen in love with. Others sit high on my wishlist—waiting for the right moment to experience them in person.

Whether it was getting drenched in color during Holi in Rishikesh, watching Jallikattu, or losing track of time in a food market filled with festival snacks, these moments left a mark. And I want to help you experience them, too.
