The Fifth Annual New Years' Eve Festival of Lights [Complete! Happy New Year!]

Seed's picture


More Information Below the Cut!



All the residents of the forest are hereby cordially invited to the Endless Forest's Fifth Annual Festival of Lights, the traditional New Years' celebration, and the passing of light, hope, and togetherness from this year into the next.

Festival FAQ
Am I invited? Can I come? Yes! Of course you are! This festival is for everyone, a chance to relax and welcome the New Year as a big Endless Forest family.

What is this? Every year, on New Years' Eve, the Festival of Light's is held -- it's our very own New Years' party. We gather together to meet and enjoy each other's company, pass around candles for deer's antlers, and join together in dance every hour, on the hour, to welcome the New Year as the celebration travels across different time zones.

Where is this? The festival is held at the Playground, since it's the best place for candles.


When is it/When is that where I live? The festival starts when we ring in the New Year at GMT, or 11:59 PM, GMT. The festival will continue until people stop showing up sometime in 2014.
Don't worry you'll miss it because you're not there when it starts; the festival will be going on for quite a while, welcoming as many time zones as deer are there to welcome.
We've got a handy list of when the start time is in a number of time zones, but if yours isn't listed, try this handy converter.

I'm not sure how do you view it, but what about someone will request weather change to night with candles (and maybe giant flowers or something like that) at M & A for the event? ^^;

I plan on being there for, at minimum, 7 hours, and probably a bit longer than that, if there's turnout to support it, so don't worry about being late.

I find timezones quite confusing and only just now checked the start times so correct if I'm wrong but... Does it mean that none of the New Years in the Eastern Hemisphere is going to be celebrated in the Forest? Not that there is something wrong with that, I'm just asking. Smiling

I don't think so, sadly: if they were, the largely western-hemisphere-residents people on the site would have trouble attending at all. We've worked on this schedule for years, and we've found that, for the most part, this sort of schedule works best for people.

That might be neat! When there's an event like this, I actually like arriving at the place about a half-an-hour early, but you're all welcome to wait where you like...And if I'm on earlier, I may go and see how that's going!

Anyway, I'm bumping because it's tomorrow night!
