Today we bring to your attention Top 10 most unusual holidays in the world.

10. Feast of chickens in the US state of Nebraska.

The festival takes place every summer in the city of Wayne and is entirely dedicated to the celebration of the feathered inhabitants of the chicken coop. Men dress up in chickens and perform in a colorful show. An elegant perch is erected on the square. The only event that upsets the heroes of the occasion is the chicken wings competition.

9. Monkey banquet in Lopburi province, Thailand.

Every year, local residents prepare refreshments from fruits and vegetables, which can be tasted from more than 600 primates from nearby forests. The holiday is dedicated to the god Rama, to whom the army of monkeys helped to win a number of brilliant victories.

7. Holi - a festival of colors in New Delhi.
