Research on a Regional Festival

You have to choose one regional festival, somewhere in Canada, BUT NOT IN MIRAMICHI. 

Assignment:

Answer the following questions using the information you have found on the festival you chose. 

  1. When is the Festival? And where does it take place (not just the region, but also the province and if there is a specific place in that region – church, lake, community centre etc.)? 
  2. Who attends this festival and why (meaning what type of person, age, interest, etc.)?
  3. What aspect of regional pride is celebrated during this festival?
  4. In approximately 150 words, describe how this festival came to be, why it was started, what they do at this festival and describe all historical associations it has with the region where it takes place.
