The second of the four festival weeks in the Greyhawk Calendar, Growfest represents the beginning of spring. The Spring Equinox is the 4th of Growfest.

Each festival week is marked by the aquamarine moon Celene shining full in the night sky. Holidays celebrated during Growfest include St. Cuthbert's Day, the Feast of Edoira, and the Desportium of Magic. The elves call Growfest "Springrite," who spend the week around the equinox dancing and singing, involving themselves in nothing but merriment. All important decisions and actions are postponed by the elves until the week is over, with the significant exception that this is when most elven couples marry or announce their betrothals.
