In the style of [[Hitchgathering]]s, slightly more organized,  Another event that comes to mind is Monnai 2005, which was also around the 14th of July. Let me roughly quote pietshah, the organizer of that event:* good weather (eh eh eh...)* natural location, without city, without supermarket, without parkings* the participants are together for being together* ''participative'' atmosphere, there are no spectators* ''idealist'' organization: values, ethic (organic and local food, eco behaviour, participation of local actors, etc)* the big international game: people from all over the world, funny situation to gather citizens from 50 or 100 countries in a field in the French countryside* locals should be curious and participate to that incredible thing happening at their door
