Q5: Does your hometown celebrate any special traditions/festivals? Tell us about it! #CultureTrav

A5: In The Netherlands, I would argue that Sinterklaas (on Dec. 5) is a big part of the overall holiday season, while Christmas is still celebrated. There's been some controversy around St. Nicholas day. In Poland, Christmas Eve is particularly important. #CultureTrav

replying to @travelcricket8 @travelcricket8 A5: A medieval football match called Shrovetide is played in my hometown. It’s pretty brutal. One of the 7 rules is “Commiting murder or manslaughter is prohibited.” #CultureTrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A5: Philly has the Mummers Parade, where people dress up in elaborate costumes and march through the middle of the city playing instruments and dancing. Someone usually does something racist and it turns into a huge drunken mess, but people love it. #CultureTrav

A5.) I'm in my hometown now, @visitknoxville, and at least as a kid one tradition was for several of us to go ride around and look at the holiday lights in other neighborhoods. #culturetrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A5. My hometown is Los Angeles, which has a very large Mexican population and I really identify with the wonderful Mexican traditions that I grew up around. The Dia de Los Muertos celebrations at Olvera Street and Hollywood Forever Cemetery are magical! #CultureTrav

A5: It's a relatively new tradition, but #Fargo, #NorthDakota decided to embrace the cold weather we're famous for with a #winterfestival called Frostival. It's a blast. #CultureTrav

A5 Our sleepy little town square in Bel Air, MD becomes a BBQ mecca once a year during the big BBQ Bash. It's a great fundraiser and you can't go there without running into friends and neighbors.

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A5: My hometown is Evansville, IN and one of the things that it is known for is having a huge “Fall Festival” with over 135 booths and all proceeds go to local nonprofits, schools in area. Weird delicacies such as brain sandwiches, chocolate crickets. #CultureTrav
