Join us this Grand Harvest for a Fabulous Festival in Yong Ping! 

[OOCLY: Saturday 7pm EST]

 

To celebrate the anniversary of our dear city’s founding, all are invited to this grand spectacle. From games to performances, there will be something for everyone; even merchants from afar will be satisfied by Yong Ping’s finest wares. 

 

The event will start off with a grand opening ceremony at the Temple of Enlightenment to commemorate the progress Yong Ping has made thus far.

 

Then, everyone will gather for a painting of the whole community by the Government House.

[OOC: Screenshot photos with everyone :) ]

 

After those have all wrapped up, guests are invited to the teahouse to unwind. Music, food, and of course, tea will be available for consumption. Additionally, a dance performance and the following variety of Game Stations will be provided for your entertainment:

 

Spice Challenge: Test your stomach and your mettle in this indomitable challenge that only one, in the whole of Almaris, has conquered.

 

Bamboo Clapping Dance: Fancy yourself fast on your feet? Got a sense of rhythm? See how long you can avoid the clapping bamboo sticks in this dance of death.

 

Tackle the Shoop: In a game similar to tag, you are challenged to find the Shoop within the bounds of the teahouse. Find the shoop and assume its visage and hide well!

 

While city officials are keeping the details of what will go on there tightly under wraps, locals have been giving their own two cents. Tianrui Ryu, a local soldier, answered enthusiastically, “The party of the century!” We sure hope so. Masamune Musashi, an esteemed Oyashiman admitted, “I actually didn’t realize there was a festival this weekend.” Is Ryu right? Will there be a festival? These are the important questions that you too can answer at the venue!

 

 

Join Yong Ping for our first festival commemorating the founding of our city! With festivities, food, and maybe even fighting, there’s truly something for everyone!
