A '''festival''' is a seasonal event that is held in the [[festival grounds]] in ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons]]'' and a two-weekly event held on the districts of [[San Myshuno]] in ''[[The Sims 4: City Living]]''.
==The Sims 3: Seasons==
A festival may or may not occur the second day after the [[Weather (game mechanic)|season]] changes. During the first day of the season, the festival grounds will be in "under construction" state. All premade festival grounds have the under construction state. If the players create their own custom festival, they may not provide the under construction state, in which case the festival will begin as soon as the season changes.
Festivals are open at 8 AM and closed at 9 PM. During the closing time, Sims will not be able to enter enclosed buildings at the festival grounds, such as toilet stalls, or use certain objects like chairs. Sims who perform certain activities at the festivals will earn festival tickets which can be redeemed at the concession stands. Not all activities will reward Sims with festival tickets. Festival tickets are only rewarded if the activities are performed at the festival grounds. Only playable Sims can earn festival tickets, so when players try to select a different household, those Sims will not have any festival tickets in their [[inventory]].
===Generic festival objects===
Generic festival objects are always available at any festivals regardless of the season.

==The Sims 4: City Living==
Festivals are special events introduced in ''[[The Sims 4: City Living]]''. They take place around the different districts of [[San Myshuno]] over the course of a two-week cycle.
To see when the next festival is going to take place, you can use the “Read About Festival” interaction on the bulletin boards in apartments, or read about the festival on dynamic signs located around San Myshuno. The informational pop-up for each festival will let you know what activities, competitions, and schedules are relevant for each festival.
When the festival begins, an identifying jingle will accompany a pop-up notification letting you know the festival is about to begin. When the festival is active, the notification will also allow Sims to teleport to the festival if they are in a different neighborhood.

Using the interaction to “Attempt the Spicy Curry Challenge” will direct your Sim to come pick up a plate of it.

The Flea Market allows Sims to set up their own stall and sell their wares. They can also visit other stalls, haggling to get the best prices and trading collectibles with vendors.
The following interactions are available at the Flea Market Festival:
*'''Trading''' – This is the perfect chance for trading off duplicates of extra inventory items. During the Flea Market, Sims can use the “Ask to Trade Collectibles” interaction to select any qualifying object in your inventory. The object you give in return is the same type of random collectible. Sims can trade the following types of items:
**Crystal
**Fossil
**Frogs
**Metal
**My Sim Trophies
**Posters
**Snow Globes
Sometimes the vendor will not be in the mood to trade. Your Sim can improve the relationship with the vendor and change their mood to increase the chances of successfully trading with a vendor. During the Flea Market festival, your Sims are also able to sell their own inventory objects.
Note: The Flea Market does not have a swag vendor, but does have some food carts.
