This goes for any city or country with a famous festival; for instance, a large number of episodes set in Mexico take place during ''Dia de los Muertos'' or ''Cinco de Mayo''[[note]]although ''Cinco de Mayo'' is a minor holiday in Mexico itself and is not even celebrated in some regions[[/note]], a large number of episodes set in [[TorosYFlamenco Spain]] take place in Pamplona during the ''Fiesta de San Fermin'' (of "the running of the bulls" fame, complete with seemingly obligatory ThunderingHerd of ''toros''), and any episode set in UsefulNotes/{{Brazil}} (thus UsefulNotes/RioDeJaneiro) or UsefulNotes/{{Venice}} wanders into the Carnival. And while the trope isn't really applicable to [[BigApplesauce New York City]], there are still a disproportionate number of stories set in the city during the Feast of San Gennaro, or during the [[UsefulNotes/MacysThanksgivingDayParade Macy's Parade]], or in Times Square on New Year's Eve. San Francisco seemingly hosts an excessive number of Pride Marches; one might think that the entire LGBT community is unemployed, or that they have somehow managed to make parade-marching into a source of income. It's also usually Chinese New Year whenever a show's characters end up in Chinatown (with the characters hiding from danger under a lion train), and cities with large Irish communities -- Boston and Chicago, for example -- play host to frequent St. Patrick's Day Parades. However, it's never Bon when characters visit Japan, nor is it the 4th of July when characters visit America...

* In ''Film/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'', the League is first assembled in London, in a very wet and foggy ''July'' as a title-card makes clear; and their first assignment takes them to Venice, during Venice's signature festival, Carnival. This, of course, is the exact same holiday as Mardi Gras or Shrovetide -- the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, thus the day on which Catholics overindulge in vices and partying before beginning their Lenten fast. Ash Wednesday is 40 days before Easter, therefore Carnival always occurs in either February or early March. It also doesn't take into account that the Venetian Carnival was outlawed in 1797 by the King of Austria, and wasn't celebrated again until ''1979.''

* If you're watching or reading something set in [[HollywoodNewEngland New England]], it's winter, and it's Christmas, with the whole town in some sort of tizzy over a parade or festival. This can be funny for people who actually live there, because winter in New England is long, dark, and ''freezing,'' so Christmas festivals are...not really a thing. The biggest parades and festivals in New England are usually around the Fourth of July, but most media is convinced the region is locked in the grip of an EndlessWinter.
