I agree with Asenath and Neima concerning a yearly site-wide festival celebrated in spring. I like the idea of alternating hosts on a yearly basis. A different theme each year! A little cultural diversity!

I also like Aria’s ideas for getting the role-play groups involved. Running an event at a festival would not only allow these groups to show off their work, but also to attract new members. Many of the rp groups have great themes, stories, and discussions. I say we should flaunt them during festival time!
