ABSTRACT
Festivals are highly influential elements in public life. This stems from their power to operate outside the limits and borders of daily life while still being situated in a socially constructed realm. This attribute of being ‘betwixt and between’ daily life and performances nourishes both the festivals and daily routines by providing a chance for a connection among local people, between generations, and between traditional and popular culture. Even though there is not a consensus in the literature about which is more powerful in this interaction, it is certain that festivals and daily life are intertwined. As elements of the festival become extended into daily life, we are also witnessing the infiltration of the roles and rules of the festivals into our daily life as well.
