Many people like festivals that are devoted to an area of interest they have. For example, people who enjoy live music and following bands will often attend a music festival because they will have the opportunity to see act after act in quick succession perhaps with the opportunity to attend multiple stages. The same goes for festivals devoted to certain foodstuffs or hobbies, such as literary festivals. Most festivals are specialised in some way to offer the chance to immerse yourself into a subject matter or practice. They are also associated with holiday periods which means they provide a break from the normal routines of daily life.
