What kinds of local events are common in your culture?

Well, I can think of a few local events happening in most Chinese cities. First, before or during most festivals, some associations organize parades in the streets to celebrate the New Year. Some local artists often perform the famous lion and dragon dance on New Year's Day. Two weeks after Spring Festival, most cities arrange a display of lanterns in the streets. This attracts many people, and streets are usually very crowded on that day. In addition, many senior citizens get together and put on a performance to promote Chinese opera and Chinese puppet shows. All these events happen most commonly around Spring Festival. On Dragon Boat Festival, local groups will take part in rowing competitions. At other times, cities might organize different exhibitions or sports events, like a marathon for example.
