Well the henford festival is buggy for me and the highschool. Henford really there's no other contestants some times with animal and the food tasting contest, or the garden one. HSY festival it keeps saying henford festival.
The HSY festivals have never worked correctly for me either. Now they just basically take up space on my calendar. Hanford got boring pretty quickly.
That is part of my point. The CL festivals are so fun, the majority of the festivals that have come since have failed to capture that same level of entertainment. I want more in-game festivals more similar to CL.

Festival ideas:
Spoiler
Quilting/art competition is sorely needed as a festival activity, and I would like pets to have judging competitions like they currently do chickens.
The pet would have to have a certain skill level (such as obstacle course skill for dogs) to enter the competition. Grooming skill (the ability for a Sim to comfortably groom them) could be a criteria for cat festivals and dog festivals. Dogs who escape baths are rarely show dogs, and cats who hiss at judges when inspected, are not good show cats. I was hoping to see more at the country fair besides just eggs and chickens being judged. The swag booth did not open during the whole festival for me.
A food tasting festival would also be great: we already have lots of food trucks in game, put all the food trucks on one lot and have them all give out free samples as part of their menu (Order food - Free sample: $0 simoleons). The curry challenge comes close to this, but the samples should come directly from the trucks, and give moodlets (hungry from wanting more, or bored from bland food, or "so much delicious food!" dazed moodlet).
Also, my Sims haven't gone camping in awhile: there needs to be a camping festival or event for Outdoor Retreat held in the National park. Hammocks would be a great addition to the camping and backyard experience.
For Get Famous, there should be a Meet Celebrity festival so that you can go anytime during the event, not just when invited.
Batuu Cosplay would be a great opportunity for an event or holiday activity, or even a new festival on Batuu (Sim discovers what they thought was cosplay...isn't, and/or unlock special interactions recognizing a Sim as Cosplayer from Batuu characters).

However, I think events and activities add more substance than the festival itself does. The festivals I like most in San Myshuno create memorable group activities.
Doctor or dentist visits/checkups might make a great rabbit hole/chance card event.
Spoiler
If an eye doctor, maybe you could have a new pair of glasses for your Sim given to you at the event, or a new contact lens/facepaint makeup unlocked that changes eye color temporarily. (There are tons of custom content facepaints that only change the eye color now.) If a dentist, you could pay extra to fill cavities, or end up with a pair of braces, or get a new electric toothbrush decoration. Or a hearing test that gives you one of the new hearing aid CAS medical features. Or if sick at the time of visit, your illness is cured or you are sent home with medicine that cures it.
Vampire initiation would be a cool event. I already have a mod that adds this. Werewolf initiation, spellcaster initiation, and Mermaid initiation would also be great!
Escape room would be a great event. The Sim and their friends solve puzzles to exit a small series of rooms, which works like World Adventures.
E-gaming tournament separate from Geek-con would be useful, ESPECIALLY if you can specify the location, and change it if it would be raining/snowing. Or, the tournament could be watched on Sim-tube or Simeo by non-participating Sims.
Card games, board games (including group exploration board games), and dice games would be fun activities for a Gaming Night holiday or event.
Or, a new Arcade venue could be visited for Gaming night.
Karaoke night would be a great new scheduled event, as would a guided haunted house tour (NOT requiring a move-in to experience), a boat tour in Sulani, a snowman building competition, and/or a bicycle race.
Family sleepovers (with suitcases) should be a player scheduled event, not automatic for unplayed households staying over with 4 people visiting your one-bedroom starter (WITHOUT sleeping bags...!) .
