Every country has festivals. China has Children’s Day, National Day, etc. So what festivals does Australia have? As far as I know, some Australian festivals are quite weird and interesting. International students can participate in them if they have time.

Next, come with me to see what interesting festivals there are in Australia.

1: Moomba Festival Moomba festival is Labor Day in Melbourne, Victoria.

"Mumba" is an Australian dialect, which means "let us get together and have fun together."

So the slogan of Moomba Festival is “Let’s get together!”.

The Moomba Festival originated in 1957 (the second year after the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne).

The first Tuesday in March every year is the Moomba Festival.

It is one of Australia's largest and oldest carnivals.

On the day of the festival, the carnival basically starts around 10 a.m.! Then there are a whole day of activities waiting for everyone.

The streets and alleys of City are filled with floating floats and various performances, the most popular of which is the dragon and lion dance performed by overseas Chinese.

Looking at the dragon dance team, will you feel the enthusiasm from your hometown? There are many carnival performances along the Yarra River, and various activities such as water skiing and dragon boating will be held on the Yarra River.

There will also be a spectacular and beautiful fireworks show at night, which is unforgettable.

2: Sydney Gay And Lesbian Mardi Gras The annual Sydney Gay And Lesbian Mardi Gras is a carnival that is widely loved by gays around the world.

It attracts more than 20,000 gay friends from home and abroad every year.

The first Saturday in March every year is Parade Day.

Gay friends from all over the world, dressed in costumes and holding a variety of explicit slogans, gathered together to celebrate, communicate, and parade.

This holiday is intended to increase understanding and awareness of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people.

We call on everyone to pay attention to and protect this vulnerable group, and hope that everyone can gain people's understanding and respect through this festival celebration.

In addition to gay friends, are all the rotten girls also ready to make a move? Three: Anzac Memorial Day April 25, 1915, during the First World War.

Australian and New Zealand soldiers joined together to arrive at the Gallipoli Peninsula from the eastern Mediterranean. They attacked the Ottoman Empire (now the Ottoman Empire), which was a friendly force with the German army in World War I.

called the Turkish Army).

All soldiers are young and strong volunteers, also known as ANZACs.

The war lasted for eight months from April to December 1915.

About 135,000 soldiers from both armies died, and thousands more were disabled.

No side won the battle.

Since 1915, April 25 has been designated as Anzac Day by Australia, New Zealand, France, Turkey, the United Kingdom and Canada to commemorate the heroic spirit of the soldiers who sacrificed for their country in this tragic battle.

Every April 25th, flag raising and lowering ceremonies and parades are held across Australia. This is a national holiday.

In the dawn mourning ceremony held since dawn, tens of thousands of Chinese people, men, women, old and young, gathered in major cities and towns across the country in front of the National Memorial Hall and the Monument to the Fallen Soldiers, holding candlelights and praying silently, laying flowers to pay their respects and resting in peace.

The number commemorates the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country.

It is worth mentioning that along with the ANZAC Festival, there is also a unique ANZAC festival delicacy that is famous - ANZAC biscuits.

This is a very popular delicacy in Australia.

Biscuits were originally made by the wives of Australian and New Zealand soldiers before their husbands went off to war.

In addition to the sweet taste, the deep love hidden behind it and the brave spirit of sacrifice for the country are the most touching.

4: Melbourne Cup Carnival The first Tuesday in November every year is Australia's grandest festival - the Melbourne Cup Carnival.

On the opening day, the Melbourne government made an exception and gave citizens a day off to celebrate the festival.

Horse racing is a very popular sport among Australians.

However, what is even more noteworthy is that on the day of the Melbourne Cup, the racecourse was full of well-dressed men. The men wore traditional horse racing attire or formal suits, and the women were even more dressed up.

Because the "Cup" of Melbourne Cup in English not only means a trophy, but also means a hat.

So it is not only an intense horse racing festival for men, but also a hat festival for women to compete for beauty.

If beauties want to dominate the horse racing festival, a beautiful hat is the key.
