Oceanica has a yearly occurance where it rains for a whole week! During this time, we celebrate what our rain goddess, Talaya, has given us. We honor what rain and water does for our people, and pray for plentiful rain next season. During this special week, we will have a variety of events; one daily. The names in ( ) are the names of the days during the festival. Here is the schedule for the week:
