A common plot in Attack of the Killer Whatever movies. The town that is under attack happens to be holding a festival. Generally this is accompanied by an official that refuses to cancel the town festival for economic reasons. This in turn puts the public at risk and the hero of the story now has a whole town to protect from the fearsome people-eating whatever. Bonus points if the festival in question features some theme, object or commodity (besides potential victims) which would naturally attract the Killer Whatever. Double bonus points if the festival is a masked event, and the attackers are taken as masks by the members of the public (until they are being eaten, that is) and become a Needle in a Stack of Needles for the heroes. In many a fantasy RPG, this trope often overlaps with Doomed Hometown, with the doom in question (usually an invading horde of mooks working for the Big Bad) falling upon the town during a local festival. See also Horror Doesn't Settle for Simple Tuesday for the holiday variant. Not to be confused with A Fête Worse than Death, where the festival is itself the threat. Sub-Trope of Tourism-Derailing Event. |

The climactic battle of Pokémon Detective Pikachu takes place at a parade celebrating the anniversary of the founding of Ryme City. Also an Invoked Trope, as the parade has been organised by the Big Bad Howard Clifford to gather as many people (and their Pokemon) in one place at the same time. | |

The first 'Kitten' arc of Sluggy Freelance parodied the Jaws example with the local sheriff refusing to make any serious investigation into some murders because it might scare away the tourists. The person who is trying to get an investigation counters that the town's tourist trade consists of renting a few cabins to college kids, and that she could cover the town's loss out of her own pocket. She is promptly ignored. | |

Dragon Quest VII has Engow's Festival of Flame, which involves throwing torches into a volcano as part of a whole symbolic "returning the God of Flame's gifts" exercise. Pamela had a vision of the volcano erupting right after the ceremony ends, but their leader refuses to listen, playing this trope to the hilt. This then gets flipped around when Present Day Engow no longer holds the Festival of Flame, and the God of Flame turns out to be real after all, and less than pleased with their lapse of worship. | |

Attack on Titan has Eren Yeager interrupting a festival in Liberio where many important politicians, aristocrats, royals, nobility and a hefty helping of well-established characters, such as Reiner Braun and his Child Soldier subordinates are gathered. Of course, Willy Tybur, the secret ruler of Marley, and Magath, commander of the military, knew that their enemies were probably nearby and used the festival to lure out Eren by having Willy give a speech that included Marley's declaration of war on Paradis Island. Eren appears to fall for the trap, as he kills Willy in front of everyone, but it's possible he knew exactly what was going on too. | |

A variation on this occurs in the The Twilight Zone (1959) episode "Ring-a-ding Girl". An actress leaves her press tour to stop off at her home town, where the big annual town picnic is going to be held that very afternoon. She convinces the powers that be to move the scheduled picnic to the high school gymnasium, where she will appear as a surprise guest. At the end, a plane (the very plane Ringading Girl was flying in) crashes in the field where the picnic was supposed to take place. | |

The Giant Spider Invasion has the spider attack a town festival. However, there's no "refusing to cancel the festival" subplot, because the festival is literally never mentioned until the spider shows up to crash it. This naturally leads a few viewers into assuming that the townsfolk are simply celebrating the Green Bay Packers winning the SuperBowl. | |

The Odd Thomas graphic novel by Dean Koontz has a subtle twist. The police chief, despite sincerely believing in the evidence, can't spare any cops to hunt down a child-killer because they are all working security for the festival. This, of course, leaves it up to the plucky teenage heroes to save the day. | |

EXTRAPOWER: Attack of Darkforce: The team enters a village in Iwate Prefecture just in time for a local festival, complete with an exhibition wrestling match! This is fantastic news for Sharkungo, the prince in exile of the Shakun Star and whose Star Yui martial arts greatly resemble professional wrestling, giving him a much needed morale boost as he participates. Unfortunately, the criminal organization Tarantula also launches an attack on the festival in order to kidnap suitably athletic individuals for their nefarious purposes. Even successfully repelling the attack cannot prevent villagers from having been kidnapped, prompting Toyama to join the party against this injustice. | |

The Vampire Diaries does this. A lot. One gets the impression that the constant festivities are a desperate attempt to distract people from all the murders. | |

The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask has a town continue a festival despite the moon dropping on them. Not that running would help anything, but seeing a guard not leave his post, just looking at the moon, really gives a "this is the end" feeling. The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap: The game's story opens with a festival. The winner of its contest turns out to be Vaati, the Big Bad who proceeds to turn Princess Zelda into a stone statue and unleashes a legion of monsters that were previously sealed in a vessel. |

In Dante's Peak, the volcano begins "waking up" during the town's "Pioneer Festival". Which happens just when a new factory is being moved to the town, and the town's naming as one of the best places to live in the United States. The town's officials are a little hesitant to declare an emergency. Which works real well. | |

While it wasn't a festival, this was the reason the town officials tried to deny that there was a shark near the town in Jaws. Closing the beach would ruin the town's tourist business over the Fourth of July weekend. Then, Jaws 2 was centered around the opening of yet another summer season, Jaws 3-D around the celebration of a theme park's opening, and the beginning of Jaws: The Revenge was set against the backdrop of preparations for the Christmas festivities. | |

Batman (1989). The Gotham 200th Anniversary Festival is in trouble because people are scared of high crime in the city, and the conflict between the Joker and the gangsters and the Joker's poisoning of the population make it worse. Despite all this, the mayor insists that the Festival must occur so businesses will come back to the city. Eventually, the mayor does give in when it becomes obvious that it's simply too dangerous to hold a festival... which is The Joker's cue to pick up the slack. And he's giving out free money! Why, how could that hurt anyone? |

Happens a lot in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. It's like an ungulate can't throw a party without being invaded. In the two-part premiere "Friendship is Magic", Twilight Sparkle is sent to to Ponyville to make sure the Summer Sun Celebration goes well... only to have it coincide with Nightmare Moon's return and subsequent attempt to bring about The Night That Never Ends. In the Season 2 finale "A Canterlot Wedding", Canterlot is invaded by emotion-eating shapeshifters called changelings after it turns out the bride, Princess Cadance, has been kidnapped and replaced by their queen, Chrysalis. In the Season 4 premiere "Princess Twilight Sparkle", Ponyville comes under attack on the eve of the Summer Sun Celebration again, this time by killer vines planted by Discord before the princesses first sealed him in stone. Happens once again in the movie, this time when a friendship-themed festival in Canterlot is crashed by the forces of the Storm King, who is looking to steal alicorn magic to empower his magic staff so he can Take Over the World. |

Very literal example happens in Hellblazer, where a pagan costume festival (which is also helping to revive the town) causes everyone in fancy dress to become whatever they're dressed as and become murderously insane (new father in baby costume to infant: "You're taking all of mummy's attention and it's! not! fair!" *splat*; a dentist(?) with a rictus grin mask wants EVERYONE TO SMILE!). John and his friend discover that loud punk rock cancels the effect a little too late: an ex-fighter pilot is "cured" just seconds after he releases a nuke, destroying the town and everyone in it (except John, of course). | |

Midsomer Murders featured this nearly every episode. If it wasn't a festival, it was a regatta, or a fair, or a carnival... The episode "The Straw Woman" had a village deciding to go ahead with a festival despite the vicar being burnt to death. The replacement vicar was then also murdered. In "The Scarecrow Murders", people are being murdered and then dressed up and posed as Scary Scarecrows during the village's annual scarecrow festival. |

In Transylvania 6-5000, town officials frantically attempt to get rid of the local monsters so they can boost revenues from festivals and expand the tourist trade. Unusual in that the "monsters", none of which are genuine, only become a problem because the local busybodies are trying to chase them off. | |

Alfred Hitchcock Presents did a revised version of The Lady Vanishes for one episode. In it, this trope provides the reason for the mysterious disappearance of the eponymous lady and the town's collusion with it: the lady died of some highly communicable disease. Because the town's well-being rests on the success of a world's fair (or some such event) they're putting on at great expense, they attempt to suppress news of the death. The episode starred Hitchcock's daughter Patricia who'd appeared in some of his 50's era movies. "How'd you like the little leading lady?" he asks in the epilogue. | |
