The top US event for 2007 is the Oklahoma Centennial, says the American Bus Association in its Top 100 US Event listing.
To celebrate the bicentennial, the Sooner State plans 14 months of more than 400 special events.
The top Canadian Event was the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo in Halifax, Nova Scotia. More than 2000 military and non-military performers join together for the fast-paced, two-hour, family-oriented event that features pipes and drums, dangers, acrobats and a host of innovative acts.
The Bus Association’s annual top 100 events does not rank them numerically but serves as a guide to professional travel planners and the general public.
The list includes fairs, festivals, parades, exhibits, theatre and shows across the US and Canada.
A panel of judges bases its decision on events’ broad appeal, their accessibility to large groups arriving by motor coach and other criteria.
