This week, our Twitter Chat theme was Celebrations! We were so excited to chat with community members about the amazing festivals, fairs, and parades they had seen, the holidays they had experienced around the world, and the friends they had made through the joy of celebrations. Joined by seasoned co-hosts Mickela Mallozzi of PBS’s travel show Bare Feet and Colby Holiday of World of A Wanderer, we chatted for an hour about new holidays around the world and smiled at your pictures of parties and wacky celebrations you’ve experienced.

Below is a collection of the images and stories you shared with us. Enjoy, and get ready to update that bucket list!
