In Britain, the most attractive events and festivities for the tourists are those related with the Empire nostalgia: from the classic rowing competition between Oxford and Cambridge Universities to the Colour Parade ritual made towards mid June to celebrate the Queen’s birthday. But these anachronisms reflect just one part of the English culture, that complements with the wide variety of regional festivals that perpetuate old traditions, or the festival of Edinburg, the rebellious Carnival party celebrated in Notting Hill, London, or some of the many art and music festivals that are celebrated in all the English cities.

Other events that attract tourists of all parts of the world are sports; soccer, tennis, rugby, derbys, regattas... the list could be endless.
