Festival of Newdawn
The Festival of Newdawn officially falls on the first day of Newdawn in the Druidic Calendar, although it is frequently celebrated later in northern climates where the sun delays its reappearance. The faithful celebrate through songs and dancing, eagerly anticipating the emergence of the sun from the cold of Iceturn. Once sunrise begins all daylight minutes are spent outside until the sun has set and the singing and dancing resume. In most cities all babies born within the last year are presented before the town as part of this celebration of life.
