Karen Lindstrom · May 14, 2026

The average length of the best-known European festivals are four days. At the most places it is not possible to pay by cash: the visitors charge their money on specific plastic cards or change them to tokens. (According to the organizers it makes the shopping faster and helps to keep count the selling, they say that it is guaranteed that you will spend more, as it is harder to be updated how much money you have spent already.) If you would like to enjoy yourself, there are dozens of  festivals, whatever is the genre.
