Prevalent in Europe and America. Many countries have traditional carnival. Masquerade balls, float parades, masks and banquets are the main features of carnival, which originated from non-Christian festivals, such as bacchanalia, Saturnalia and Fauna Festival in ancient Rome, and Celtic religious ceremonies. It is usually held in February and March.

3. April Fool's Day (April Fool's Day), also known as April Fool's Day and Humor Festival, is a traditional folk festival in western society, which is held every April 1 day. April Fool's Day is similar to the fun festival in ancient Rome and the joy festival in India.

In some countries in Europe and America, on this day, people play jokes on people around them in various ways. When the deceived person is told that today is April Fool's Day, it suddenly dawns, so this day can always lead to many jokes, but some jokes will also cause people's panic because they are too big, or change the situation and become (network) rumors. But jokes can only be played until noon at the latest 12, which is a strict rule by convention.

May Day, also known as International Labor Day and Labor Day, is the Labor Day in most countries in the world. This festival originated from the workers' strike in Chicago, USA.

Easter is a festival to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is celebrated in western Christian countries.

The Eastern Church stipulates that if the full moon falls on a Sunday, Easter will be postponed for another week. So the festival is roughly between March 22nd and April 25th. Easter is one of the oldest and most important Christian festivals to celebrate the resurrection of Christ. Christians all over the world celebrate it every year.
