This festival is celebrated by all Ethiopians. To herald the New Year, boys offer flower paints to their neighbors and relatives while girls express their wishes for the New Year by going to each family in the neighborhood singing and offering twigs as a mark of good wish for the New Year. This is a spectacular event to see for anyone who is a guest in Ethiopia. It is celebrated on the 1st month of Ethiopia (Meskerem) September 11th except on leap year.
