Festival of Life: A winter holiday. For Pelorians, fairly religious; for everyone else, fairly secular. Celebrated at the end of the year, to provide hope and excitement for rebirth and new beginnings. Gift-giving, home-grown food, and lots of singing are staples of this holiday.
The Seelie’s Ball: A spring festival. Often features playing pranks on friends and family, as well as dances - especially masquerades. This is often seen as a romantic holiday, oddly enough.

If Day: A fall festival. Legend has it that this holiday was originally an actual day of training and preparation for dragon attacks, but if dragons ever were real, they haven’t been seen in centuries. Now, it’s simply a holiday filled with traditional games, fun costumes, and lots of fall-and/or-dragon-themed food and alcohol.
Dionysus Day: A summer holiday, dedicated to the arts, wine, and general revelry. A day of theatre, music, poetry, art, and drinking far, far too much.
