The World’s Weirdest Festivals

Midnight Facts for Insomniacs · Jul 17, 2025 · 45m

Every culture has traditions. Some honor the dead. Some feed the local monkey population. Some involve grown men in devil costumes leaping over rows of live infants.

In this episode, Shane and Duncan dive into the world’s weirdest festivals, from tomato-throwing mayhem to camel wrestling to an underwater concert.

Bring goggles. And maybe a helmet.
