Gropius had written about Bauhaus celebrations already in his Bauhaus manifesto in 1919. He attached importance to cheerful, ceremonial gatherings for teachers and students. A lantern festival was scheduled for June 1922 and a kite party for the autumn of that year. Invitations to these festivities were designed by teachers, such as Wassily Kandinsky, and printed by the Bauhaus; for instance, this one to the Kite Festival.
