Fanon

This holiday is frequently mistaken for established lore due to its widespread inclusion in many fan-made Greyhawk calendars. However, it is originally fan-created content and has never been used in any official sourcebook.

Description

This holiday celebrates summer itself, and Sotillion, the goddess of summer.

"Sotillion's Day, know popularly as 'Labor Day' and also, derisively, as 'St. Ides' (for 'Saint Idler′s'). Followers will do no work and enjoy the summer. Widely popular, especially for the young and in love. As a result the full moon of this month is often referred to as the 'lover's moon'."[1]
