The Egyptian Opet festival celebrates renewal, and there was also festivities. There was acrobatic dancers, and also musicians. In one part of the festival, a beautiful barque, made by artisans, is carried by high government officials (who often compete for the role of carrying the barque) on poles throughout town. In the barque is a shrine, and on the shrine is a decorated (by priests) statue of the god. Everyone took part in this festivity, and took off from their work. It lasted from 24 to 27 days.
