So I think I could start off by answering which festival it is. It’s called a Buffalo Festival. It’s a festival that occurs annually in my city. It’s one of the most famous red festivals in my city as anyone who think of my city, they would definitely think of this festival. So it occurs annually in March and it depends on the weather for the date each year as the schedule is changed each year and is not fixed. So what people do here is they will let two buffaloes fight and in the finally the winner will be praised and awarded special treatments such as special food just simply be praised by the people and the audience. So I think that this is a way of how people show their gratitude to the nature that has been helping and assisting them in their work throughout the years. I really love this festival I I think partly due to my love to my city. And this is also a really important symbol and tradition of my city.
