Spectacular Atlas: the world's spectacles
1542 light and lantern festivals, drone shows, projection-mapping festivals, immersive digital-art venues, ice and snow festivals, giant parades, carnivals and fire festivals, and quirky events such as camel races, food fights and odd contests, in 91 countries, from Spectacular Atlas, a travel guide to spectacles worth the trip. Updated 2026-10-20; refreshed every three months.
How the data is made
Events are found by AI agents that read tourism-board calendars, event listings and roundups country by country (and
state by state in the largest countries), plus news feeds. Every date comes from a verbatim quote on the organizer's own
website (or, where marked, a news report); an automated check re-fetches the cited page and confirms the quote and the
date before anything is published, and every event is re-checked every three months. date_source holds the quote and its
page for each record. Sizes are estimates, not measurements.
