Abstract
Festivals represent a vital part of human society and they have done so for millennia. The history of festivals is likely to go far back in the past, long before the written history of civilisations began. The desire to mark particular occasions, such as equinoxes, solstices and harvests, with communal expressions of feelings has been around since the Neolithic times (Biaett 2017) and continues to this day.
