September 2012 Worldwide Events

This September, there is not just one place to be, because there are events happening all around the world. From The Reykjavik International FIlm Festival in Iceland, to The Marrakech International Salsa Festival in Morocco. America offers the peaceful side of the month with Power To The Peaceful Festival in the fabulous Golden Gate Park, San Francisco for yoga, live music and action sports. This is one for the whole family. Elsewhere in the United States, the annual Buffalo Roundup and Arts Festival, South Dakota, offers a combination of rounding Buffalos as well as arts and crafts.

World Car Free Day involves anyone who wants to be, anywhere in the world, as everyone turns off their cars, and get on the bike! The UK offers a variety of events, however the biggest not coming from England, but from the surrounding countries such as The Braemar Gathering in Scotland, and the Galway International Oyster and Seafood Festival in Ireland. However, there is never nothing going on in England. The Jane Austen Festival offers a more intellectual side to the country, and provides a wonderful parade through the town center which is now the biggest regency costume promenade in Europe.

Australia’s Melbourne Fringe Festival showcases the best of new contemporary art in Australia. The independent artists live their festival experience in the friendly and modern Fringe Club. Finally, fancy a beer, or two, or how about 5 million litres? If this sounds like your kind of Festival, head on over to Oktoberfest, Munich, Germany for 16 days of beer, rides and performances along with traditional Bavarian culture.. Cheers!
Here is a quick guide to the world's top ten events this September:

Reykjavik International Film Festival



Where? Reykjavik, Iceland
When? 27th September - 7th October 2012

Towards the end of the month, Reykjavik’s annual International Film Festival wows films lovers from all across the globe. With its focus on promoting Icelandic film culture, the Festival offers a wide selection of film cultures from all continents.

The Festival started back in 2004, and so is still relatively new. However the Festival made its mark in 2010, when a fantastic array of 180 individual films were shown to over 25,000 film lovers and Festival goers alike.

There are a number of select film categories, one of which  is the “New Visions” categorie. This is for directors making only their first, or second films. This is a great way for the director to establish themselves and get their name out there.

World “Car free Day”


Where? Worldwide
When? 22nd September 2012

Every year on September 22nd, people from all around the world come together in the streets and neighborhood blocks to send a message to the world that we do not have to give in to our car-dominated society.

As the climate slowly heats up, World Car free Day is the perfect day to take some of the heat off the planet, and place it upon city planners and politicians to give priority to riding bikes, walking and public transport, instead of to the automobile.

A Car Free Day is an event organized in several places in different ways, but with the shared goal of taking a fair few number of cars off the streets of a  big city, or some target a particular area or neighborhood for all, or part of a day.  In doing this, they are giving the people who live and work there an idea of how their city might look and work with a lot less cars.
