The celebration begins with Madame Plonk and Dewlap singing the "Harvest Hymn" to the plucking of the harp played by the nest-maid snakes, before Bubo interrupts with a drinking song. The festival is led by Dewlap, the Ga'Hoolology ryb at the time. The dances named are the "Glaucana," described as sweeping from wing to wing in a "stately waltz", and the "Glauc-Glauc," vaguely described by Otulissa as having the steps "one two, glauc-glauc-glauc, then backward one two, glauc-glauc-glauc." In the banquet, the rybs are said to often get very tipsy on milkberry wine. Chaw practices and classes are put on hold for three days during which the berry-picking portion of the festival takes place, then on the third night, there is an enormous banquet that continues each night for three or four nights.
Led by the Ga'Hoolology ryb of the Great Tree, the festival consists of berry picking, singing, drinking, and dancing. Illustration of the Dining Hollow, also from the art book
