Template:Festival

Festival

Infobox for a festival as a series — the thing that has a name, a home, and a habit. Hillberry. Grey Fox. Wickenburg.

A festival series is a standing invitation, like a jam, and it records a month rather than a date for the same reason Template:Recurring event records a weekday: the series outlives any one year of it. The dates live on the edition pages, one per year, built with Template:Festival edition.

Usage

{{Festival
|venue=The Farm
|city=Eureka Springs
|state=Arkansas
|month=October
|genre=Bluegrass
|genre2=Americana
|established=2012
|website=https://example.com

}}

Naming

The series page takes the festival's name as people say it — Hillberry, not "Hillberry Harvest Moon Festival 2026". Each edition is <Name> <Year>: Grey Fox 2026. That is the pattern the wiki already grew on its own, and it is predictable enough for a bot to generate.

Where a festival is widely known by a longer formal name, make that a redirect.

Parameters

• name - Defaults to the page title.
• venue - Where it is held. Page-valued; a venue with no page becomes a redlink.
• location - Free text, for grounds with no venue page — a farm, a fairground, a field.
• city, state, scene - Fill these in even if the venue page carries them too.
• month - The month it usually falls in. An expectation, not a promise.
• genre through genre3 - What gets played.
• host through host3 - Who puts it on.
• established - Year of the first one, four digits.
• image, caption - Commons files work; this wiki reads Commons directly.
• website, calendar - Official page, and wherever the schedule actually appears.
• description - A sentence rendered under the infobox.

Notes

The infobox lists this festival's editions automatically by querying Has festival, so a new edition page appears here without anyone editing this one.
