Wacky Festivals
Discusses three wacky festivals from around the world. In Brockworth, England, competitors run down a steep hill following a cheese round. The winner of the race to the bottom of the hill gets to keep the cheese. In Lopburi, Thailand, residents throw an annual Monkey Banquet, bringing food including a giant cake for the local monkeys, which are revered in the Buddhist tradition. In Siena, Italy, the Palio is a 700 year old bareback horse race in which rival neighborhoods vie for bragging rights.
