I especially like the sound of those chocolate festivals :D
nice list! i'm surprised our "crab week" in san francisco is so late in the year--i think the season (at least for local crabs) has already closed.
These are the places where one should go when ever this festival happens.
Shail
Agra India
really 'full stomach' festival
