Spring has swept over the Far East in the form of the blossoming cherry trees! Join us this year to sit beneath the cherry blossoms with friends, loved ones, and companions and indulge in all spring has to offer. We open the festival with a ceremony that leads into the open market, and the evening closes with a themed play.

The Jade Tortoise and the Wind-Hare

by benaveil
In the age when mountains still whispered, and rivers carried the voices of dragons, there lived two creatures beneath the gaze of the Heavens: one born of patience, the other of wind.
In the lowlands of the Jade River, where lotus blossoms opened like quiet prayers, dwelled Ao Tu, the Jade Tortoise—ancient in spirit, slow in step, bearing a shell said to hold the memory of the earth itself.
And upon the golden hills danced Feng Tu, the Wind-Hare—swift as a summer gale, proud as thunder, his feet never touching the ground for long.
