Helpful answers

Festival Directory FAQ

This is a cultural discovery directory, not a fixed-date calendar.

How many festivals are included?

The supplied source contains 114 festival entries, so this page describes the collection as 100+ rather than exactly 100.

Can I search by country or region?

Yes. Search looks across festival name, the source region label and the description. The region chips also group entries into broad world regions.

Do the cards include festival dates?

No. The supplied source is a directory of festival names, places and short descriptions. It does not provide a verified date for every entry, so this rebuild does not invent dates.

Where do the Explore links go?

Each link uses a relative slug generated from the festival name, matching the source behavior. Those URLs can point to individual festival pages within the same site.
