Line 2:
A '''festival''' is a seasonal event that is held in the [[festival grounds]] in ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons]]''. A festival may or may not occur the second day after the [[Weather|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]].

===Hot dog eating contest===
[[File:Festival summer - hot dog eating contest.jpg|210px|thumb|Sims competing in a hot dog eating contest]]
Up to four Sims can compete in a hot dog eating contest. Sims can participate in the contest on their own or invite others to join. If no one is available to participate, the contest is cancelled and Sims have to retry participating. The contest lasts for approximately an hour, during which the winner will be determined, and after the contest is over, Sims have to wait for another two hours to compete again. If the eating contest stand is not on a festival lot, the contest can immediately be participated in again. [[Plumbot]]s, stuffed Sims, and nauseous Sims cannot participate in the eating contest.
In determining the winner, each of the participants has a weighted winning chance. They are given a random weighted chance between 0 to 50. The higher the weighted chance a participant has, the more likely they'll win. It's not impossible, however, that a participant with lower weighted chance wins. The weighted chance is modified by a number of factors.
*If the Sim is hungry, the weighted chance increases by +10.
*For each eating contest a Sim has participated in, the weighted chance increases by +5, but is capped at +25.
*If the Sim is a [[SimBot]], a [[ghost]], or an [[imaginary friend]], the weighted chance increases by +10. If the Sim is a [[Vampire (The Sims 3)|vampire]] or a [[mummy]], the chance decreases by -10.
*If the Sim's [[favorite]] food is hot dog (or key lime pie for pie eating contest), the chance increases by +10.
*If the Sim has the '''Competitive Eater''' [[lifetime reward]], the chance increases by +20.
{{Info||Weighted chance is not percentage, so the value may go over 100.}}
At the end of the contest, the winner will earn 25 festival tickets, while other participants will earn 5 festival tickets. The winner can boast their victory, and all participants will bring home an excellent platter of hot dogs. There's a 33% chance the participant will vomit right after the contest ends, and another 30% chance they will get nauseous and vomit later. [[Vegetarian]] Sims will always get nauseous. There's also a 2% chance the watchers may vomit, and an additional +5% chance if the Sim is a vegetarian or [[Pregnancy|pregnant]].
Sims with '''Competitive Eater''' lifetime reward has numerous advantages in addition to boosted weighted chance. They will not get stuffed or fat from participating in the contest, and they will not vomit or nauseous.
===Roller skating rink===
[[File:Festival summer - roller skating rink.jpg|210px|thumb|Sims roller skating]]
Roller skating rink is a common festival object in most seasons. There are two sizes of roller skating rinks; small and large. Small rink can have 5 skaters, while large rink can have 5 skaters in the outer lane and 3 in the inner lane. Skating will grant 5 festival tickets no matter how long Sims skate. Sims with [[Bot Fan]] trait in their robot form cannot skate.
Skating on the skating rink increases the [[Secret skills#Seasons|hidden Skating skill]]. Sims with low Skating skill will start skating slowly and wobbly. At level 2, they will start skating fast. At level 3, they can spin alone or with another skater in the middle of the rink. The higher the skill, the better they spin alone. At level 4, they can skate backwards. The hidden skill goes up to level 6. Sims can ask anyone to spin together regardless of [[relationship]].
[[Ghost]]s, [[Mummy|mummies]], [[SimBot]]s, [[Vampire (The Sims 3)|vampires]], [[imaginary friend]]s in their toy form, [[genie]]s, [[Fairy|fairies]], [[Werewolf|werewolves]] in their wolf form, and [[zombie]]s will not skate on the skating rink. Instead, they will run or hover around. In addition, they cannot perform skate backwards or spin.
===Water balloon fight===

===Tanning booth===
==Fall festival==
===Pie eating contest===
[[File:Festival fall - pie eating contest.jpg|210px|thumb|Sims competing in a pie eating contest]]
A pie eating contest is essentially the same as hot dog eating contest. The same applications apply to the pie eating contest, although with a few differences. Sims will eat key lime pie and receive an excellent platter of key lime pie. In addition, Sims' face will be smeared from pie and their [[hygiene]] drops slightly.
