You'll declare a trade day, a feast day for the guild(s) of crafters that mine and work with the materials upon which the town's wealth is founded.   The guilds will parade through the streets with their tools, and their religious icons of their patron gods, and be feted by the rest of the townsfolk with gifts of flowers, candies, kisses, beads and small coins.  And in turn, the guilds fete the townsfolk later by in large part providing a feast paid from the guild dues.   A ritual sacrifice will take place, probably first of the 'first fruits' of the labor - ritually melting down some ore to give to the temple (which they can sell or whatever), and secondly of food, livestock, and drink offered up to the trade patron gods - and then a party will commence with the town sharing the portion that doesn't go to the gods (generally speaking, most of it).   Afterwards games will be played and contests held that relate to the trades particularly and other things the town values.   Pick axe swinging contests.  Ore chunk throwing contests.  Dancing contests.  Baking contests. Minecart pushing contests with the young maids that won the dancing contests, baking contests, and singing contests and such in the minecart.   And so forth.</blockquote>
