Festival of Masks

Every year there is an annual festival held in the outskirts of a city. In the outskirts lay an estate where aristocrats, singers, musicians, actors, playwrights, writers, authors, artists, and nobles meet. The festival is held during the most lukewarm part of the year. Everyone is supposed to dress up in their finest clothing along with a mask. It did not matter what type of mask it was along as it was not ugly or grotesque looking. Unique masks were allowed as long as they were creative. Some party goers made their own masks, whereas others bought theirs or had theirs crafted.

There is not escaping this requirement for this party of masks. Every party member must have a mask on in order for the festivities to presume once everyone arrives. On occasions the lower classes would be invited to this festival every few years to enjoy the company of the upper classes. Games, singing, dancing, and other activities took place during this festival that lasted for a few days. However every one must be unmasked by the one who is chosen to unmask every party member. It is found to be good fun to unmask a party member to see who it is behind the mask. Every day the festival goes on everyone must wear a mask when the party resumes the next day. In order to keep things interesting they all swap masks to confuse and surprise the person chosen for the unmasking. On more than one occasion the same person has been unmasked five times in a row.
