The Panaia is a modern festival celebrating the birthday of Pan. The actual date is Maimakterion 1 (following the ancient calendar) and therefore the exact date can change based on the lunar cycle. The festival starts with a theoxenia to Pan with the main offering typically being lamb. Pine cones may be decorated to be put on Pan's tree at the Dendraia, His next festival, and games may be played. A drum circle or other musical offering is often a part of the celebration as well.
