WHAT'S ON WORLDWIDE
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

to 7 September The Arhus Festival. This is the biggest cultural festival in Scandinavia with a programme of several hundred events in drama, opera, music and dance, in which the whole city comes alive. This year's theme: Latin America.
Ronda
Andalusia. 6-9 September. The Goyesca Fair takes place in this extraordinary whitewashed town built over a gaping gorge, with the main events on 8 September. Lots of typical southern Spanish revelry in the heat of late summer.
Scotland
6 September. The Braemar Royal Highland Gathering. In Braemar, Grampian, kilted clansmen from all over Scotland toss cabers, dance and play bagpipes in the presence of the royals.
San Francisco (right)
6 September. A Taste of Chocolate, the annual chocolate festival. Addicts and gluttons can gather in Ghirardelli Square to taste chocolates, watch chocolate dipping, moulding and sculpting demonstrations, and collect recipes.
Abbots Bromley, England
8 September. In one of the oddest and most pointless events of the month, a dozen dancers wearing reindeer horns cavort around tirelessly for 14 hours from 8am to 10pm.
Belgium
Charleroi, opening 7 September. Rodin et Belgique exhibition, featuring 130 pieces, drawing and sculptures, including the most important examples of his work.
