In Upper Anuipuk, the midsummer celebrations often focus on the thawing of the land as it is a sign of summer. Additionally, they use the start of summer as the signal for a very important celebration; the sacrifice Ahmnka made for the sake of her people.
The celebration follows the thawing of the land as many warmbloods, that took refuge on their deities back, return to the sea. Elderly and very young children stay behind, though they see off their family members that are returning to sea for the summer. They thank Ahmnka for her sacrifice, for allowing them to shelter from the harsh winter months on her back, and wish her good tidings for the summer.

Lower Anuipuk is vastly different from its counterpart. Due to the vast and diverse collections of species and races, this little place has so much culture bursting amongst its streets. Because of this, the festivities are often packed with many different cultural rituals. All in all, this place has one huge festival, with a culmination of different stalls and areas temporarily put up to showcase these varying cultures.
If one wishes, they can explore a new way to celebrate the Midsummer or they can retain their more traditional roots; there’s just so much to choose from!
