Binghamton's Hidden Gem: A Festival Drawing 100K+ Visitors Annually

It's is that time of year again! We'll be getting together with friends and family and traveling to our favorite music locations. That's right, festival season will be here soon and the US is where it's at for some of the best music and food, along with cultural celebrations that you will find on the planet.

To get in on the festival fun, Betway decided to find out which places is everyone talking about. Coachella is America's most popular festival which features about every music genre except country. Coachella racked up over 3.2 million searches in the past year.

Rolling in at a close second is the Electric Daisy Festival in Las Vegas, Nevada, with an amazing 1,946,970 searches. And don't forget about Mardi Gras in New Orleans, holding its own with 1,875,260 searches.

If you are thinking that because of the rising cost of fuel, you don't want to travel that far. I have fantastic news because New York has made the top 5 cut! The Feast of San Gennaro, which celebrates Italian tradition in Little Italy, saw a solid 1,059,850 searches, snagging the fifth spot.
