My original Hometown, as in where I was born, was Torrance, CA. The only "tradition" I can think of was that our [slightly ghetto] neighborhood would get together with the middle school kids and share all their illegally obtained Mexican fireworks on the 4th of July.
Yeah, that's it.
I like Kung-Fu.
That is so cool. My Hometown of Maspeth, Queens had a GIANT block party, like in the main streets, for blocks and blocks. It's so cool.This town, it has a homecoming where stupid people march to the high school from the library in all their stupidity. Because this town is stupid.
This 2 day festival called the Oul Lammas Fair (in Ballycast-le-oh).
Just an excuse to buy dulse, yellow man, and Armalites.
The last words of Oscar Wilde, to the wallpaper in his room - "One of us has to go"
They call it a Flower Festival, it basically involves big flowers being paraded around everywhere and people getting stoned.
My hometown has some great traditions, such as the Annual Incest Festival, or the Hourly Chav Moron Parade, slashing some tyres near you!
Obstacle: I come from Birmingham, We have Gay Pride too! Or had should I say, don't live there anymore. Isn't it the greatest fun? We had more than just superwoman though :P

Manchester has a beauty show once a year where you can see hordes of tacky women with the smallest eyebrows, and the orangest fake tans, the world has ever seen. The only saving grace is that im there. If I wasn't there, even if you got every woman in the room to put there eyebrows together, you probably still wouldn't be able to make even half a proper eyebrow.Originally Posted by Shaun
There's a parade in Corona, but I think that's it. I was in it once!
there's the catherine cookson festival where about 10-50 floats drive into st bents park and some bands sing there back in 1999 the Spice Girls sung there, I didn't have a sniper rifle though.
There's the Sunderland Airshow where loads of cool army jets fly around and you get to do all sorts even fly in a plain.

My hometown in Michigan had what they call the Venetian Festival. It's this biiig festival on the water, with tons of live bands and fireworks. It's usually done really well but last year they messed up and a firework flew at my brother and his girlfriend, and they are both now deaf in one ear. It ended up impaling some guy through the leg, so I won't be going to Venetian anymore. B)
Originality is good, kids.
We got Butterfield Days.
It's an old pioneery day featuring the museum (haha, we have a museum!) and the old Butterfield Stagecoach line.
All I care about is marching in the parade, really.
celebrate mardi gras
I would like to say I remember something besides drunk people stripping but I dont.
I like to get drunk every year a tradition I started when I was 13.
Annie Oakley days. My town being her birthplace and such. Yeah, you probably have no clue who she is, but it's a big deal to people here.
o snap so do we.

We have a Salmon Festival every year with a three-day Salmon Derby. Person with the biggest catch gets up to $25,000, depending on the year and how much money they have to give away.
