Fly In Ethnic Festivals

Okay, so the "beer festival" title was perhaps a bit off-putting to some.
Let's try again.

Can you list any big ethnic festivals in your part of the country? In Iowa
and Wisconsin, of course, they are mostly German Fests -- but I know of at
least one Italian Fest ("Festa Italiana" in Milwaukee) and a couple of
Polish festivals.

Here's why I'm interested: When we fly somewhere I always try to link
several activities together. When I fly to Milwaukee on vacation, for
example, I try to plan it around SummerFest -- a week-long lakefront
celebration of live music, food, and fun.

That way there's more to do than just see the relatives... :-)

So, that being said -- can anyone list some?

Not "ethnic" but during late February/early March the Fur Rendevous is
happening here in Anchorage. You can also catch the start of the
Iditarod Sled Dog race. And of course, what a great cross-country just
gettings here!!

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.

Burning Man?

Well, an ethnic festival would be Zozobra in Santa Fe, NM in September:

A real big fiesta is the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque, NM in October:

(not so much ethnic but aviation related of course!, And there is German
Warsteiner on tap ;*) which brings us back to beer)

I've never been, so I don't know, but is it really an ethnic festival?

I heard that it was not too inviting for aircraft there (although it
does sound quite interesting).

After reading through the Burning Man website, what is it? - a 30000
people fly-in in the Nevada desert including a random art exhibit for $200+?

Thanks for enlightenment ;*)
