Wednesday is a day for walking without purpose and checking out the incredible food stalls around the festival. But there is one special event that dominates the day - the opening ceremony.
Many processions take place throughout the day with the first notable ceremony beginning at the Healing Field at 4pm. The site will also be open for the public to enjoy yoga, tai chi, dance, singing, meditation,and massage for free.
