Southern Water Tribe Festival

[naviex]

So I have an idea about doing a "Southern Water Tribe Festival". As we all know book 2 of Korra will begin here. At least thats what Ive gathered. Yeah I know we are in 160asc, but who is to say that we cant have one now? Maybe this festival is a yearly thing. After the 100 year war the Southern Water tribe exploded(thanks to Master Pakku). Maybe is a winter solstice festival..maybe its a rebirth of the tribe festival...maybe its marking the end of the 100yrs war...or maybe its just a celebration of the Avatar returning...who knows?!


Concept art of the festival revealed at comic con:


Abit of history: *ahem* (puts on glasses of +10 Knowledge)
It seems to be based off Dongzhi Festival (celebrated by both Japan(The Rising of Amaterasu) and China), its the shortest day/longest night of the year...thus it's mostly celebrated at night. Its all about reunion/harmony. I could go into more detail...like the kind of food they eat....why they eat that......but Ill spare you.

So... What do you guys think? I think this would an awesome RP adventure.

I love this idea! I would totally create a special board for events too!

*happy dances* Awesome, I got this idea right before I was falling asleep one night...then ended up pondering it for another 1hr......
If you notice in the picture there is a Ferris wheel and a roller-coaster.... Which going by Korra's "timeline" of the 1920/1930s is quite period. The Ferris wheel made its debute at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago and the Switchback Railway(1st roller coaster) appeared in 1884!(The same year my college was founded.) I imagine though the roller coaster works alot like the mail system in Omashu.
