Most overrated Events / Festivals?

It's Mardi Gras season, and that had me thinking, what events/festivals (domestic or international) are most overrated?

From the stories i've heard, Mardi Gras would be on the list. Haven't been personally but it sounds like an absolute shit show... though I guess if that's what your heart desires to each his own

The quarterly meetings at your mums house

The meetings themselves at OP's mother's house are mundane, but do stick around to mingle afterwards. When the sun goes down, the OP's mother emerges from her lair wearing just combat boots holding an orange Home Depot bucket, a pack of Slim Jims, and a squeegee and the real fun begins.

Music festivals. Just a bunch of hippies who leave what was a beautiful area literred with trash. The majority of the music sucks so you end up camping with a bunch of opinionated assholes to ultimately see 3 bands that have talent.

Only two sources I trust, Glenn Beck and singing woodland creatures.
