Kentucky Derby, United States – 3 May

From dancing in the streets in Spain to cheese rolling in England, here are seven incredible celebrations taking place around the world this month. Most Kentucky Derby thoroughbreds finish the 1.25-mile race in about two minutes. But it is the traditions surrounding the annual Louisville, Kentucky horse race that have made it an American institution, from drinking mint juleps (cocktails made of bourbon, mint and sugar) to presenting the winner with a blanket of 564 red roses (giving the Derby the nickname “The Run for the Roses”). The highest-attended horse race in North America, the Kentucky Derby has taken place every year since 1875. Related article: Beyond bourbon in Louisville (BBC)ANN.Az
