Cultural festivals are a big reason for travel, and more and more travellers are making their way through world events. Be it for music, art, or any other quirky topic, events in November 2018 ensure that you have a great time. The best festivals often incorporate a milieu of things that come together and provide an exceptional experience, and here we take a look at some of the best events in November from around the world. For those who like to experience new things, here is a list of festivals and world events for the month of November.
Monkey Buffet Festival, Thailand
No it is not a festival where you get monkeys for a buffet. The festival is celebrated every year in Thailand’s Lopburi, and observed by giving fruits and vegetables to the local monkeys here in the Lopburi province. It is one of the strangest festivals you will ever visit, but in all honesty heart-warming. If you are a travel photographer, you can get some amazing clicks.

African International Film Festival, Nigeria
The beautiful nation of Nigeria also has the Nigerian film industry, which is also called Nollywood. Of course film buffs would find themselves very lucky to attend the African International Film Festival here in Nigeria. You will be able to watch short, medium, and feature length films here, and we believe that it would open your horizon of world cinema. You can watch some of Africa’s finest films here.
