    • There is a greater emphasis on entertainment and commercialization, with festivals often including music concerts, food fairs, and other forms of entertainment.
    • In some cases, festivals have become more secular and less focused on religion or traditional customs.
  • Example: One example of this is the celebration of Christmas. In the past, Christmas was celebrated in a more religious manner, with a focus on attending church services and observing traditional customs such as the nativity scene and singing carols. Today, Christmas is still celebrated in a religious way by some, but it has also become a more commercial and secular holiday with the inclusion of Santa Claus, gift-giving, and holiday-themed movies and music.
