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.
In apartment buildings there is a bulletin board, where Sims can read about the festival to see when the next festival is going to take place and what activities, competitions, and schedules this festival has to offer. Festivals can also be read about on dynamic signs located in different parts of San Myshuno.
When a festival is about to begin, an identifying jingle will play and a notification will appear letting to know that the festival is about to begin. This notification also can be used to teleport Sims to these festivals, if they are located in another neighborhood. Festival objects and activities will appear on the neighborhood where the festival is located in. Around an hour before the festival ends, a notification will notify that the festival is ending. After the festival ends, all objects will disappear and are replaced by normal street objects.
Generic festival objects
Generic festival objects are always available at any festivals regardless of the theme.
Food stand
Sims can buy food from different food stands located in the festivals. The food stand has different menus for different festivals and every stand has different food items. Pufferfish Nigiri is always Excellent Quality in these food stands, thus the chances of dying from it is nonexistent.

Swag stand
Sims can buy different exclusive items from swag stands relating to theme of the festival. The items include are: snow globes, T-shirts, bubble bottles and different types of fireworks. Snow globes found in these festivals can be obtained from boxes that are located around the city, however, T-shirts are completely exclusive to the festival and buying unlocks it in Create a Sim. Getting a free T-shirt is by completing the spice eating challenge in the Spice festival.

Geekcon
Hackathon
During Geekcon, the computers at the festival start to glow. It indicates that there is a competition called Hackathon going on, that is only for Sims with a high programming skill and having it increases the chances of winning either a computer or a Future Cube. However, it does not stop Sims with a lower programming skill or Sims who doesn't have that skill at all from competing in the competition.
Ultimate Gaming Test
Another competition in Geekcon alongside Hackathon is the Ultimate Gaming Test. It is indicated when the motion based gaming consoles start to glow, and is usually towards to Sims with a high video gaming skill. But like Hackathon, Sims with a low video gaming skill or Sims who doesn't have that skill at all are still able to compete. The Ultimate Gaming Test requires Sims to play through different video games in order to win. When the competition ends, a notification will appear telling the points from 0-100 to the Sim who participated, and if the Sim passed the test, they will receive either a computer or a Future Cube as a prize.
