Get in touch
Hello — I am Christian Stark, and Festipath is mine to answer for.
Thank you for choosing this atlas. There is a great deal of the internet you could have spent this time on, and I am glad you spent it here. I would like this to be a two-way street, so if you have something to tell me, please do.
If something is wrong, tell me
A date moves, an organiser changes the square, a name is spelled the way outsiders spell it rather than the way the people there do. Every entry names the sources it was written from, at the bottom of its page. If you know better than a source does, or the source itself was wrong, write to me. I will look at it, and where you are right the page will be corrected.
If you were there, tell me what it was like
The atlas can find out what a festival means and when it happens. It cannot know what the square was like at six in the morning, which street the procession really comes down, or what a visitor should have been told and was not. If you have stood in it, you know something the sources do not, and I would be glad to hear it.
If a festival is missing
Most of the world is still missing. If an occasion matters where you live and is not in the atlas, name it — where it is held, roughly when, and a source if one exists. Festivals suggested by the people who keep them are the best kind to add.
How to reach me
- By email, at info@festipath.com. Write in whichever of the twelve languages is easiest for you.
- In the comments on a festival's own page. That needs a free reader account, and comments are read before they appear, so yours will not show up straight away.
- Through the Telegram bot, @festipathbot, which opens the atlas inside Telegram.
I read everything myself, and there is only one of me, so an answer can take a few days. Nothing is too small: a wrong accent on a name is worth an email.
The details the law requires of me — address, responsibility for content — are on the imprint page.
