In plain language
Editors look for festivals with clear cultural meaning, enough public information to describe them fairly, and dates that visitors can verify. Paid placement never buys a festival "recommendation."
What we look for
- Living celebrations with community roots
- Reliable timing notes (including "dates vary")
- Imagery and language that respect participants
- Useful links to official or community sources when available
What we avoid
- Scam ticket funnels disguised as editorial
- Stereotyped or sacred imagery used casually
- Lists that pretend every festival is a tourist product
