Sweeps Festival, Rochester, Kent. (First weekend in May)
This occurs in the first weekend in May. It is a throwback to pagan traditions and coincides with the tradition of Chimney Sweeps welcoming the summer so that they could clean the dirty chimneys.
Dancers and Musicians converge on the street to provide a wonderfully colourful spectacle.
