We have little right to judge whether they are good or not. These are traditions and habits of the people who live in a specific teritory and share common values. It is the right of the people who are part of these communities to choose and judge, not ours.
In globalization era, these festivals along with traditions preserve the peculiarity of each nation...
Totally true
These are our legacy and we ought to carry them on to the next generations 
Even though I agree that we need to preserve our traditions, we also need to be able to make choices among the multiple traits and habits that we inherit. An eloquent example can be El Colacho; also, I would add UFO festival and the Cheese running one to the list, the former being quite ridicululous to my mind and the latter dangerous. Why don't we choose the best among good options? ;)
Traditions are to be respected, not selected!
The truth is somewehere in the middle. Some of these festivals may seem ridiculous first place, but they represent the people and their nation and carry on the individuality. So, I think participating is totally ok, respecting some limitations. ;)
