what it says on the tin! a festival (new years would be the closest!) and in my mind's eye it would be japanese-styled, but that's not really the important part.
the important part is that everyone is prompted to crossdress. eeeeveryone. boys wear dresses and high heels and girls wear suits and genderfluid characters wear the opposite of what they usually wear (if they wear everything all the time: wear nothing) (no don't actually do that) (but actually do) and there's a beauty contest in the end, and/or an auction! characters in the community get their own "beauty team", who pretty them up (crossdressing, of course) and then a row of judges determine which character is the most beautiful. there are several prizes - first, second, third, and landlord's pick.
as for the auction, people are put in teams and have three(more/less) representatives to dress up and "sell" - everyone bets tokens to buy a character's services! family friendly services. probably. comm-friendly services, with an expiration date of one week(/day/whatever your heart so chooses) and basic human rights to be sternly kept (unless with mutual mun permission between buyer and representative). that sounds really bad BUT BASICALLY just things like "ok now you have to clean my toilet for a week" or "COOK ME A DELICIOUS BENTO BOX FOR ME TO TAKE TO WORK FOR A WEEK" or "HOST A PARTY IN MY HONOR", stuff like that!
the auction is, in itself, a contest, too - with three(more/less) rounds, teams can try to reach the "winning" criteria - either successfully winning the most auctions, or getting the most tokens, successfully selling the highest bid, whatever the mods may choose! and at the end, these select teams who win these criteria will get a prize! (you could worm a popularity contest in this, too - every round characters individually choose the best dressed character up for auction!)
