Another June festival - Global Smurf Fest!

For those of you born in the 80s, I'm sure you remember these little blue guys in white hats!

June 25th 2011 is global Smurf Day, and synchronized smurf day events will take place in 12 cities around the world! How cool is that? Its a pity Singapore isn't one of them... One of the more interesting events is the attempt to break the Guinness World Records Title for Largest Gathering of People Dressed as Smurfs!  To achieve this, the global events must collectively add up to more than 2,510 Smurfs! Imagine that :)




In fact, sources tell me that one town has gone so far as to paint their entire town blue!
And that would be Juzcar, a small village near Malaga, Spain. Apparently, there are Smurfs everywhere, and people are dressing up like Smurfs too! How fun!

Among the cities participating in the Global Smurfs Day are Brussels, Belgium (Peyo’s home country); Athens, Greece; Scheveningen (The Hague), Holland; Dublin, Ireland; Mexico City, Mexico; Panama City, Panama; Warsaw, Poland; Moscow, Russia; Johannesburg, South Africa; New York, USA; and London, UK.

So if you have the chance, do make a trip down to one of these cities. And don't forget to dress up! :)
