Festivals
Festival of Nature - Gemigons gather in Etna and Cotopaxi to celebrate nature and all the gods associated with it. It is a week long celebration that involves eating fruits and vegetables (which they normally do not eat), as well as relaxing and being in the most beautiful places in Akator.
Great Gem Harvest - Gemigons gather in Fuji and other mountainous towns to gather the gems that have been growing there over the last year. Gemigons sent from Kīlauea will take the gems back and then help export them all over Akator to feed the outer towns and villages. Others will keep their gems and save them for themselves/their family, or make crafts and sell them in Kīlauea.
Festival of Art - A two day celebration in Kīlauea where gemigons from all over come to buy and sell artwork and crafts. Gemigons from outer cities generally cannot attend, as they are too far away to make the trip in such a short amount of time.
Celebration of Music and Sound - Gemigons get together and make as much music and sound as possible. Many will put wind chimes outside of their house or shops, and kids will often run around with things that make noise, such as bells/chimes/whistles/etc.
Harvest's End - A celebration of the end of the Great Gem Harvest. The celebration lasts for a week; during this time, massive feasts are held and many will dress up and give out gem candy to children. This is essentially the gemigon equivalent of Halloween, mixed with the Day of the Dead.
Spirits' Festival - A huge celebration of the gemigons' gods and the many spirits inhabiting the Spirit World. This is a time of gift giving and being around loved ones; essentially their equivalent of Christmas.
