Neercana-Rei shook her head. "No, I have been to the festival many times before, and I need to keep my shop open. I always receive an increase in business when the festival is on. I hope you enjoy yourself, though. I remember I loved it the first time I experienced it as a hatchling."

With Ahnasha finally ready and at least a few of them eager to see the festival, the group bid Neercana-Rei farewell and left in the direction of the district where the festival was primarily being held. Ahnasha broke off from the rest of the group to return her old dress to her room, while the rest continued on. Once again, the streets became more crowded as they neared the festival. The music and pleasurable scents in the air grew stronger, and the decorations lining the street became more elaborate. This time, when they entered the large, open square where the crowd was congregating, they got a much better look at the events that were taking place. In the very center of the square were the musicians playing Argonian styled music, surrounded by finely dressed and beautiful dancers of several races. Similar to an outdoor market, there were stalls in another part of the square selling all sorts of goods, both local and exotic. Other parts of the square held shows, such as the troupe of Khajiit acrobats they saw earlier, and an Altmer demonstrating his magical prowess. Others had set up stalls with various games they had designed in which those attending the festival could actually participate. Overall, there was a lot to do, and they could begin anywhere, if they wanted to remain in a single group at all. After all, what appealed to one of them might not appeal to the rest.
