Korpfest (Template:IPA-sw; or Ravenfest is a national Blostlandic holiday, it is held annually on October 30th in Blostland and the greater Blostsphere, it is observed before during the liturgical period dedicated to remembering the dead and the martyred. It is also related to ancient Blostlandic pagan festivals and has many references to ancient spirits, with its name deriving from the most important of these spirits, the Raven.
Korpfest activities include Parades, Beer Festivals, Costume parties, souling, lighting bonfires, church attendance, horror movies and pranks. While the holiday has strong spiritual roots and is often a time when people visit the graves of the dead to light candles and give gifts, there is also a strong secular part of the holiday which is often practiced at home or in festivals. While Korpfest is often hosted by local churches in recent years local governments have taken up the responsibility, leaving more of the traditional activities to the church and those who choose to attend them.
