My community doesn't have a whole lot of big annual festival type things.
There's a big marathon run, which I've never been to. It's for African relief, I think...the details are somewhat hazy... We had a fellow from Kenya run in it this year, which is big shit around here.
Every year around Christmas, the college throws a Jingle on the Green, which is kind of big get together for the holidays. Choral singing, games, public poetry readings, the drama kids put on a play and Santa and such for the kids. I've been a couple of times
I don't know if this counts or not, but the college and local business hold an annual Relay for Life. It's to raise money for the American Cancer Society. The Chancellor's wife died of cancer a couple of years ago, so the college is heavily involved in that. I did a lot of work for that this last month...making signs and such.
A few towns over they hold an annual Turkey Trot. I couldn't tell you what it's for, but it involves a pageant and a parade, which I marched in a couple of times in high school as a member of the band.
