FELIPE: Well, I talk about the most unavailable festival in the world.
This festival takes place in Marshall Islands in Oceania, in early May every
year, Its called Watermelon National day.
This island dont forget the peasant who sow and harvest watermelon.
One day before the festival starts millions of stars exploding against the
night sky from the fireworks on the city park. It ought to be celebrated with
shows, games, bells, bonfires and illuminations.
The next day there are outdoor stage shows, folk dancing, and lots of lively
music. Then everyone gathers at long tables under the trees for a lunch:
There are desserts and cool drinks all based in watermelon.
But the main activity is watermelon eating contest. The winner in this
contest to give watermelon for all year.

points like a watermelon of course.

E: Its the Interational rock day. It was declarade in 1985 in July 13rd
specially for the benefit concert of Live Aid, who was transmited in England,
USA, Australia, Russia and Filipines. A lot of people who loves rock music
celebrate that day. Some of people assist to a concerts or listen this kind of
music all day.
Radio stations offer special programs of rock and it is so exciting. The people
can wear special t
-shirts of rock bands, like Nirvana, Queen, Red hot chili peppers, Guns n
roses, ACDC, Aerosmith, etc.
In USA the people love this holiday because that kind of music is really
important, also the most important rock bands born in the United States.
I think this is an important holiday because the rock is the leyend of the
music and the rock bands are so exciting and very importants in the history
of the music. Also in the 80 all the world breathed and lived with rock.
