'Georgians Revealed: Life, Style and the Making of Modern Britain,' London The Victorian and Elizabethan periods may be well known, but many quintessentially "polite" things thought of as British — taking tea, theatergoing and a fascination with gardening — originated in Georgian England. "Georgians Revealed," from Nov. 8 to March 11 at the British Library, explores the roots of popular culture and "the revolution in everyday life" that took place between 1714 and 1830, through artwork, rare books and everyday objects, like the first fashion magazines. (Above, a circa 1714 portrait of George I.) Talks about culinary history, poetry and the emerging middle class; guided walking tours; and a night of "Vice and Virtue" with live music and performances, and food and drink, are highlights.

Steven Spielberg Film Festival, National Archives, Washington A free public film festival showcasing films by Steven Spielberg, including "Amistad" (1997), "Lincoln" (2012) and "Saving Private Ryan" (1998), will take place Nov. 15 to 18. The event is a lead-up to a ceremony at which the director will receive this year's Records of Achievement Award, an annual tribute to an individual whose work has deepened public understanding of historic events. Mr. Spielberg will receive the honor on Nov. 19, the 150th anniversary of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.

Lop Buri Monkey Banquet Festival, Thailand Travelers may flock to Thailand for its noted cuisine, but in Lop Buri, about 94 miles north of Bangkok, monkeys are the foodies, at least during the Monkey Banquet Festival. A spread of fruit, traditional Thai dishes and other foods is offered to the honored guests, the small primates that proliferate in the area. (Nearby vendors and food stalls feed tourists.) The annual feast, this year on Nov. 24, takes place around the three-spired Phra Prang Sam Yot, a Buddhist temple that was converted from a 13th-century Hindu shrine.
