The Bath Literature Festival, with dozens of sessions from local and international writers and poets, runs in February. </font></p> <font size="3"><p><font face="Arial">The Bath Flower Show and Royal Bath and West show are in May, while the Bath International Music Festival, usually just called the Bath Festival, runs for two weeks at the end of May. </font></p> <p><font face="Arial">Each July the Bath International Taste Extravaganza showcases food from the city and the world, and there's an international Boules championship. In August you can enjoy Bath Classical Guitar festival and Shakespeare Festival. </font></font></p> <p><font size="3" face="Arial">Outside the festivals the city still thrives. The Theatre Royal has drama, comedy and opera, often direct from (or before) the West End run. The smaller Rondo also offers stage productions. Stand-up comedy is provided by the Fez inside Cadillac's nightclub. There are three cinemas, all close to each other in the centre. Clubbers have a good range of haunts, notably Moles, while dozens of pubs offer live music. </font></p> </blockquote> </blockquote> <p> </p> <blockquote> <h3><font color="#9999CC" face="Arial">JANUARY</font></h3> <p> </p> <h3><font color="#9999CC" face="Arial">FEBRUARY</font></h3> <p><font face="Arial"><strong>Bath Literature Festival<br> </strong>26 February - 6 March 1998.<br> An impressive array of literary talent comes to Bath to provide an absorbing series of lectures, interviews, readings and after dinner speeches.</font></p> <h3><font color="#9999CC" face="Arial">MARCH</font></h3> <p><font face="Arial"><b><font size="3">City of Bath Half Marathon</font><font size="2"><br> </b>Sunday 21 Mar 1999</font></font></p> <h3><font color="#9999CC" face="Arial">APRIL</font></h3> <p> </p> <h3><font color="#9999CC" face="Arial">MAY</font></h3> <p><font face="Arial"><strong>Royal Bath & West Show</strong></font></p> <p><font face="Arial"><strong>Bath Flower Show</strong></font></p> <p><font face="Arial"><strong>Bath International Music Festival</strong></font></p> <p><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000" size="3"><strong>Bath Fringe Festival</strong></font><br> <font color="#000000" size="3">28 May - 13 June</font><br> <font color="#000000" size="3">Avant </font></font><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Arial">garde, performance</font><font face="Arial">, theatre, music, generally alternative festival<br> <a href="http://www.bathfringe.co.uk/">Bath Fringe Festival '99 Web Site</a></font></p> <h3><font color="#9999CC" face="Arial">JUNE</font></h3> <p><font face="Arial"><strong>North American Indian Weekend</strong><br> 13-14 June 1998.<br> American Museum, Claverton Manor, Claverton Down, Bath. </font></p> <h3><font color="#9999CC" face="Arial">JULY</font></h3> <p><font face="Arial"><strong>American Independence Day</strong> <strong>Celebrations</strong><br> 4-5 July 1998.<br> The American Museum, Claverton Manor, Claverton Down, Bath.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial"><strong>Boules Tournament</strong><br> 11-12 July 1998.<br> Queen Square, Bath.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial"><strong>Bath International Taste Extravaganza</strong> 13-26 July 1998.<br> (B.I.T.E)</font></p> <p><font face="Arial"><strong>Fete Champetre</strong><br> 23-25 July 1998.<br> Stourhead Gardens, Stourhead, Wiltshire.</font></p> <h3><font color="#9999CC" face="Arial">AUGUST</font></h3> <p><font face="Arial"><strong>Bath International Guitar Festival</strong><br> 2-23 August 1998.<br> Various venues in and around Bath.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial"><strong>French & Indian Wars Re-enactment</strong><br> 15-16 August 1998.<br> The American Museum, Claverton Manor, Claverton Down, Bath.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial"><strong>Gatcombe Horse Trials</strong><br> 18-29 August 1998.<br> Gatcombe Park, Gatcombe, Gloucestershire.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial"><strong>Shakespeare Festival</strong></font></p> <h3><font color="#9999CC" face="Arial">SEPTEMBER</font></h3> <p><font face="Arial"><strong>The National Amateur Garden Show</strong><br> 4-6 September 1998.<br> Royal Bath & West Showground, Shepton Mallett, Somerset.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial"><strong>Bath Triathlon</strong><br> 13 September 1998.<br> Starting in Great Pulteney Street outside of Carfax's frontdoor, this acclaimed televised sports event uses the city's roads and river.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial"><strong>American Civil War Re-enactment</strong><br> 19-20 September 1998.<br> The American Museum, Claverton Manor, Claverton Down, Bath.</font></p> <h3><font color="#9999CC" face="Arial">OCTOBER</font></h3> <p> </p> <p><font face="Arial"><strong>Annual Bath Beer Festival</strong><br> 16-17 October 1998.<br> The Pavilion, North Parade Road, Bath.</font></p> <p><font face="Arial"><strong>P.B.F.A.
