The allure of a mountain festival is multi-faceted: up in the hills, celebrations take place in a truly atmospheric setting, with views that stretch over the horizon and sunsets so beautiful, they might distract from the main event. Whether it\u2019s a centuries-old cultural tradition in high-altitude villages, or using a natural amphitheater for a mountain music festival, we think these are the best mountain festivals you\u2019re bound to make memories at.<\/p>\n

Festival de la Candelaria, Peru<\/h2>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

\n

On February 2 each year, a burst of colour on the shores of Lake Titicaca springs to life. Held in the city of Puno, Peru (considered the country\u2019s folklore capital), the Festival de la Candelaria<\/a> celebrates the \u2018Mamacha\u2019 Candelaria, Puno\u2019s patron saint.<\/p>\n

The celebrations usually extend for a full week either side of the big day, when up to 30,000 dancers take to the town\u2019s Torres Bel\u00f3n stadium for the ultimate dance-off, with even their costumes designed to move in time with the rhythm of panpipes.<\/p>\n

After the televised contest, the mountain festival shows off its traditional Andean side, with masked participants from 150 Quechua and Aymara folkloric groups parading through Puno\u2019s streets.<\/p>\n

Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Colorado USA<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

\n

This mountain music festival in Telluride<\/a>, one of Colorado\u2019s top ski resorts (with an altitude of 8,750 feet), has filled the Rockies with the sound of bluegrass music for over 50 years.<\/p>\n

Every June around Midsummer, performers stand upon a wooden stage that perfectly blends with the cowboy vibes of the old mining town, and let their banjos and bagpipes serenade a crowd of up to 50,000 people over a four-day shindig.<\/p>\n

If the sounds of bluegrass and country aren\u2019t enough, dance under the Solstice sun, greet the day with 8AM yoga sessions, or simply tuck into a paper plate of flavor-packed dumplings; the festival is famous for the savory snack.<\/p>\n

Frozen Dead Guy Days, Colorado USA<\/h2>\n
\n

Who knew that one US state could offer so much diversity in the realm of mountain festivals? During the quirky Frozen Dead Guy Days<\/a>, held on the second weekend of March, the foothill town of Nederland, Colorado clubs together to celebrate Grandpa Bredo \u2013 a Norwegian citizen whose body was cryogenically preserved and brought to Nederland from his home country by his grandson.<\/p>\n

After four decades and a few legal difficulties, Grandpa Bredo\u2019s corpse currently lies in a Tuff Shed designed to cryogenically preserve him. He is long dead, but the community comes alive to celebrate him with coffin races, a hearse parade, and \u2018Frozen Dead Guy Lookalike Contests\u2019.<\/p>\n

Although the 2023 festival was held in the town of Estes Park \u2013 an hour\u2019s drive north of Nederland \u2013 it\u2019s well worth making the trip for this truly one-of-a-kind mountain festival.<\/p>\n

Festival of Roses, Morocco<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

\n

Throughout history, the arrival of spring has been cause for celebration. When Morocco\u2019s M\u2019goun Valley blooms with up to 4,000 of damask roses each May, the air is filled with aromas of all kinds: smoke from bonfires, spicy Berber food, but mostly of all things rose.<\/p>\n

At this time of year, thousands of pink petals are harvested to make aromatic rosewater and valuable rose oil, which perfumes everything from soaps to sweets. Local artisans sell their floral wares at handicraft markets, Berber women dress in pink robes, and one lucky young lady is crowned the year\u2019s Rose Queen. If the sweet scent of flowers floats your festival boat, this is definitely one mountain festival you should not miss.<\/p>\n
