Are they sure they didn't add an extra zero accidentally? Even if you say 'summer' is 120 days long, that's nearly 7-8 festivals *every day*. - JaxSean May 20, 06:50 6
- It does seem rather high, although 'summer' starts this weekend. -- nm - LMS May 20, 06:54 5
  - they are probably counting every little street fair and such. Does anyone even do festivals there outside the summer? - zork May 20, 07:09 4
    - Music festivals will go as far as September, possibly October, then you've got Guy Fawkes night, then Xmas fayres in December. We expect it to be cold -- nm - LMS May 20, 07:15 2
