How can you beat skeleton candy, seasonal bread and all-night parties in cemeteries? Welcome to Days of The Dead (Dia de los Muertos) in Oaxaca, Mexico. The early November festival is dedicated on its first day to children who have died and on the second day to adult relatives. Children are excited in the weeks running up to the festival as coffin- and skeleton-shaped sweets and paper mache skeleton puppets fill the shops and markets.

Travelers often get dirty on their adventures but this Scottsdale, Ariz., festival takes things to extremes. Each July during Mighty Mud Mania, families frolic in the mud, proving that a little dirt does make life a little more enjoyable. The event started out in 1976 as a promotional stunt for a cleaning product but failed when the Arizona mud proved too tough to wash out.

Everybody knows about Carnival in Rio but what about Carnival in Cologne, Germany? It's the same idea: floats, screaming crowds and bands. But in Germany during this annual festival, the Thursday to Monday before Ash Wednesday, you also get good German beer and men who have their ties cut in half.
