La Festa Del l'Uva - Festival of Grapes

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Rocca%20Sorrentina/89/187/2801

“A harvest festival is an annual celebration that occurs around the time of the main harvest of a given region.
Harvest festivals typically feature feasting, with foods that are drawn from crops that come to maturity around the time of the festival.

Ample food and freedom from the necessity to work in the fields are two central features of harvest festivals, as well as eating, merriment, contests, music and romance.”

Mark your calendars for September 23rd and 24th !
