Festivals are events that occur during certain times of the year. They first appear in Epic Battle Fantasy 5.
Each festival has a corresponding NPC that appears in the Warp Zone and has a quest. Enemies have a chance to drop a Festival-specific item which is used to both complete the Festival quest, and to upgrade some of the Festival-specific items. Drop rates for these items depend on which box is required to capture the foe; the bigger the box, the higher the drop rates (note that this is only used as a way to measure foe strength; it's not necessary to actually capture a foe for it to drop the items), with the foes requiring the largest box also having a chance of dropping a second item.
During a Festival, Equipment Shops will also have some exclusive items to sell, and some NPCs only appear during Festivals to gift the party a few items.
Multiple Festivals can run at the same time. In this case, enemies may drop each of the applicable festival items.
If you save in the Warp Zone, the location of the Festival NPCs is also saved, so if the active festival changes before you next load the game, you will need to exit the Warp Zone and return to update which NPCs are there.
Festival timing relies on the system clock, therefore you can cheat by changing the system clock or using applications such as RunAsDate.
