Coburg, Germany, is the site of the annual Samba Festival, one of the biggest in the world outside of Brazil. Drum corps, Capoeira martial artists, and dancers from all over the world participate. Check out the colorful costumes and dedicated musicians!
One of my trips to a Franconian (Bavaria, Germany) Heckenwirtschaft, a sort of pop-up restaurant at a winegrower's. Open only in spring and fall, the local wine is featured and accompanied by local meat, cheese and bread specialties. Prost!
Annual Johannesfeuer (summer solstice) celebration in which a large bonfire is ignited near the Regnitz River in Bischberg, near Bamberg, Bavaria, Germany.
A tour of the famous German Christmas market in Nuremberg. Complete with bratwurst, Gluhwein and a side trip to the Marriage Carousel fountain based on a poem by native son Hans Sachs.
