New Moon Celebration

The New Moon Celebration is a reunion festival between the Northern and Southern Water Tribes. The celebrations are most likely annual, and are possibly scheduled to correspond with a new moon. These are times of happiness in the tribes and are likely looked foreward to their citizens. Once The War started, the trips to the Celebration became much too risky, and eventually the events stopped being held. The celebrations will most likely start back up now that The War is finally over.

Purpose
New Moon Celebrations are times when the Northern and Southern Water Tribes unite. Family and friends on the other side of the globe are able to see each other during this time. These festivals are very formal and spiritual and many people dress up for this event. However, things like food vendors, games, and dances reflect the happy mode and give the celebrations a more festival-like atmosphere to them. The meeting of the Tribes' Cheifs also give them a chance to discuss matters such as new laws, economic standings, and traditions (the absence of the New Moon Celebrations is quite possibly the reason for the Tribes being so physically, socailly, and culturally diffrent).
