My sims just went to their first festival, and it was a lot of fun!
One of my guys had a keg in his inventory, so he put that out right behind the crowd in front of the stage, tapped it, and it was a PARTY! Even got to see Morgyn Ember tragically fail at a keg stand. :D
I wish there was some way to cancel the NPC townies who get up on the stage to perform AFTER the concert, though. NPC autonomy still seems to take priority over player directed actions for active sims, which is a real shame (as in, if an action you assign your sim happens to conflict with the autonomous action of an NPC, it's not the NPC's action that gets cancelled, it's your sim's action that gets dropped).
One of my sims is a Level 10 pianist, singer, and a songwriter, and I really wanted her to have a chance to perform one of her songs on stage after the festival...but there was no way to get her up there because the NPC townies (who didn't know how to play) claimed the stage for the entire night. :/
Other than that, my sims had a great time.
Oh, and another cool thing...they brought 4 toddlers with them, and the tots were able to use the tents to take a nap, so that worked out well. :)
