Melbourne, Australia—where I live— is a city of festivals. Every year there are arts, music, film, food, beer, wine, and cultural festivals. For example, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Street Food Festival, and Autumn Festivals. There's always something to look forward to in my city.
There are so many festivals, some of the names are almost the same. We have a Jazz Festival and a Mussel and Jazz Festival. The good part about these two festivals is that one has international jazz musicians and the other one has local jazz musicians, so attending both allows one to have different experiences.
In my opinion, such events give us the opportunity to spend time with family and friends. We also get the chance to take a break from the routine of the week by being outdoors, listening to some music and eating good food.
