Dragonborn Festival of Pride

This traditional festival celebrates the heritage and culture of the dragonborn people as a whole, and is widely celebrated on the vernal equinox each year.   The festival begins three eves before the equinox, when a parade of farmers and craftsmen walk their town calling an end to work and the beginning of festivities. It is traditional to shower the workers on parade with pebbles or handfuls of dry grain to "dissuade them" at the beginning of the parade, and shower them with drink at the end as the people supposedly give in to their demands. At any scale, the evening typically devolves into a general party from there - and doesn't stop until the final day of the festival.   The first proper day of celebration is known as the Day of Scales. It's marked for the recounting of their people's history and culture. In large cities it's most widely associated with theatrical and musical performances recounting important historical events and (often better attended) their great heroes' tales. A smaller village might have the children put on a play, some hands sing traditional songs, and the village elder recount their villages history. At home each clan and house might have their own traditions to recognize this day, recounting and remembering their own story.   The second day is the Day of Breaths, to celebrate the unique talents of the dragonborn, and the traits that set them apart from the other races. It is marked with tourneys, breath weapon challenges, and skill contests of all sorts. In larger cities, this can take place in city squares set up as massive fairgrounds, or tournament rings set up in open fields, or even arenas. In smaller towns, these challenges are more likely held in an open field or an area marked out with stones.    The final day, on the equinox itself, is the Day of Dragons. The most serious day of the festival (if only slighty), the day is a holy day in dragonborn religion. Prayers, rituals, and other observances are offered to all the draconic pantheon on this day. It's also considered the best day to seek out the intercession of the gods for all sorts of things - healing, romantic luck, a blessing for a journey, etc. People entreat the god's aid en masse with special prayers traced out on the ground, then obliterated with the dragonborn's breath.   The Day of Dragon's, and the festival itself, ends with a great parade led by the highest ranking priest around of any of the dragonborn pantheon. In larger towns and cities the parade is filled with wagon-borne floats from local institutions and houses of note. It's also considered a great honor to the town and a good omen for a dragon to personally walk the parade - traditionally in a place of reverence at its very rear.
