A young "Festayre", or festival goer, wearing the traditional festival outfit, a red scarf and a red Basque beret, looks on during the last day of the Bayonne festival, or "Fetes de Bayonne", Sunday, Aug. 5, 2007 in Bayonne, southwestern France. Bayonne, the cultural capital of the French Basque country, hosted through Aug. 1 - Aug. 5 the yearly traditional Bayonne festival, five days of sheer enjoyment celebrating music, tradition, gastronomy, sport and culture, featuring concerts of giant firecrackers, cow races, processions, dances, marching bands, with everyone dressed in red and white, the colours of the festival. The festival attracted about one million people this year, coming from all over France, Spain, and other European countries.
