Field notes
The homepage combines month-and-location listings with a map that can be filtered by region and by spectacle, including food fights, fire, animals, and costumes. A separate country ranking is tied to user ratings, and the page invites the first vote because no country is listed yet. Navigation and interface text are offered in six languages.
