Check out “First footing” and “Loony dook” in this link for some Scottish silliness on Hogmanay

There’s also the Padstow ‘obby ‘Orse festival held in Cornwall in May.

Once a year a small county in Spain tosses lots of tomatoes at each other.

In Germany, on father’s day, men form in groups, take a small wagon, fill it with bottles of beer, and then go wandering around for the day, getting shitfaced along the way.
Because nothing says “fatherhood” like abandoning the family and indulging in excessive alcohol consumption.
