OVERVIEW
Hello and welcome to the annual Jubilee of the Ages! A week long festival held in a different nation each year that highlights the arts, cuisine, history, and cultures of the world. This premiere, multicultural event, rooted in over a century of tradition, crosses over international borders for the culmination of a beautiful display of what all of the people of Olympus have to offer.
The origin of this tradition stemming from the 1890's celebrations seen across the world dedicated to the viewing of the Perseid meteor shower. As communities continued to celebrate in coming years the practice grew to the point where each year's festivities were meant to outdo the last. The similarly timed celebrations that occurred spanning the globe led to the formal organization of an internationally endorsed event and eventually the formation of the Jubilee Commission. Weathering the test of time, including the span of several large scale wars and numerous conflicts, the festival still continues today, on a much larger scale. The Jubilee of the Ages truly embodies international cooperation and the spirit of the ancient celebrations of Apaturia, that of the 'common relationship'.
Stop by and revel in the views and wonders gathered at this year's installment of this tremendous occasion! A litany of performances and showcases will make their way across the main stage, the Proplyon. A vibrant and immersive shopping experience will be available in the Agora, featuring market stalls of vendors selling an extravagant range of merchandise. As the world recovers from the throes of the recession that began earlier this year, the Jubilee of 2020 serves as a testament to the elasticity of Olympia and will show off just how beautifully it can bounce back! A host of craft food vendors will provide a multicultural menu to satisfy even the most picky or insatiable eaters, with a series of gourmet world class chefs making appearances. A long list of featured guests, speakers, and panels makes this years Jubilee the best to have ever happened! Make your way to Farsund and don't miss out!

Hosting CityThe distinguished host of the CXVIth Annual Jubilee of the Ages is a rather unconventional tourist destination, the far northern port city of Farsund, capitol of the United Republic of Storsnia.Located on the coast of central Storsnia, Farsund is the heart of the United Republic, serving as the gateway into the faraway icy wilderness that Olympia calls Storsnia. Unlike the rest of the icy nation, Farsund is a vibrant and thriving city rich in culture and history. Divided into Old Farsund on the north bank of the Kovasselva River, and New Farsund on the south. Old Farsund, as told by its name is full of cultural and historical significance for the Storsnian nation, home to numerous memorials to important Storsnians past. The canals that lace throughout the city are The First Minister's residence as well as the seat of the Legislature, the Kamaritalo. Government functions operate out of old Farsund while new Farsund showcases the modernity of the twenty first century Storsnia, with towering skyscrapers, jaunty hotels, and a world renowned ice rink, the entertainment district boasts a distinct and vibrant nightlife. The SAV Arena where the Jubilee will be held is a key centerpiece of Storsnian culture, as the popular Lykensburgish saying goes, a newborn Storsnian is as good on ice as the Manobans are at laying train tracks.Directions
From the Port of Farsund
- Take Farsund Ferry through old Farsund to new Farsund's ferry station.
- Take Route 33 to the Entertainment District, getting off at Exit 4b
- Find yourself outside of one of the most popular Ice rink in Mu-Kal
Parking will be available in the surrounding parking garages of the stadium, as well as half capacity of the parking lot, to make room for the Agora. Local traffic ordinances will be in force, so be sure to park legally!

Rules and ParticipationSO! While participation is not mandatory it is highly encouraged and there is a variety of ways to do so. The easiest way to participate in the fair without any hassles or responsibilities would be to simply stop by here and there with IC posts either interacting with vendors, reacting to main attractions, or simply walking about the festival!
Rules are pretty self explanatory and basically anything referenced in The Gateway would apply. For a very brief, rough listing of rules for this thread here we go:
- Don’t be a jerk.
- Don't god mod.
- Remember to separate IC antagonism from OOC.
- No OOC in the IC thread and vice versa.
- Please use correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Use spell check, proof read, etc.
- Thread concludes after two full weeks IRL after the IC OPs are published.
- There are two separate IC threads for lack of clutter, make sure to keep posts where they belong.
- HAVE FUN!

You can either signup for a highlighted time slot as one of the Featured Guests or sign up as a Sponsored Vendor.

A multi-talented artist, Cecilia, is also a brilliant luthier and well versed in the difficult skill of playing the classical guitar. Past recitals have seen magnificent interpretations of a variety of works, including works written originally for the lute or vihuela by composers such as John Dowland and Luis de Narváez as well as music written for the harpsichord by Domenico Scarlatti or for the baroque lute by Sylvius Leopold Weiss. Her musical and dramatic talents as well as wide popularity with a large fan base has led to her being hailed as La Divina.
