Originally released by [[CundCo]] in {{Year|2016}} to mark the 15th Anniversary of the first publication of Carcassonne. A C3 version was released in {{Year|2022}}, which has [[Visual Changes in the 2nd Edition#Cities with clipped buildings|cities with clipped buildings]]. A revised C3 version was later released in {{Year|2024}}, which added 2 new tiles by removing the rules tiles.

== Rules == <!--T:4-->

=== Preparation === <!--T:5-->

<!--T:6-->
Shuffle the 10 Festival tiles together with the Land tiles of the basic game.

<!--T:29-->
{{GameplayHeading
 | icon = {{Feature|name=FestivalPlace|edition=C3|size=x65px|variant=image}}
}}

<!--T:11-->
{{RulesPlacingTile|rules=
When you draw a Land tile with the festival place, you place it according to the normal rules.
}}

<!--T:13-->
{{RulesPlacingMeeple|rules=
You may then choose either:
* deploy one of '''your own''' figures <ref>
{{IconArrow}}
The rules provided by [[CundCo|CundCo]] used the word "meeple" but the rules intended by [[Hans im Glück|HiG]] referred to "figures". We follow the [[Hans im Glück|HiG]] ruling here and modified the wording accordingly.
</ref> to the tile in the usual way; or
* return one of '''your own''' figures <ref>
{{IconBook}}
All of your own figures are meant here, including normal and large meeples, wagon, mayor, builder, pig, barn, shepherd, phantom, abbot meeple, ringmaster, and guard meeple. (5/2015; updated 12/2018; updated 2/2023) 
</ref> <ref>
{{IconWorld}}
No scoring would be applicable to any meeple or special figure, including the abbot and the shepherd. Note that:
* It would be odd to use this expansion to remove an abbot meeple, as it has its own retrieval mechanism that involves scoring.
* If a shepherd is removed, no '''Guide flock to stable action''' is invoked and no flock scoring would take place. There is no official clarification about what happens in this case to the shepherd's flock. Two options may happen:
** The flock is returned to the bag without scoring as soon as their shepherd is removed from the board.
** The flock remains on the game board. If it is shared with one or more shepherds, they would not be affected; otherwise, the flock could be claimed by a new shepherd and it would be an analogous case to the sheep found on some tiles in minor expansions such as '''{{RiverLink||version=III|edition=C1|variant=long|logo=noborder}}''' from the first edition or '''{{HalflingsLink|variant=long|logo=noborder}}'''. 
:Players should agree on which option is chosen at the beginning of a game.
</ref> <ref>
{{IconBook}}
A player cannot return another player's figure to them. Also, a player cannot return a neutral figure (such as the fairy or the dragon).
</ref> being already on the tiles of the playing area <ref>
{{IconBook}}
As the City of Carcassonne from '''{{CountKingRobberLink|variant=long|logo=noborder}}''' is also part of the playing area, this allows removal of a meeple from there (even if the Count is in the same space). This would also apply to the City of Leipzig from '''{{MarketsLeipzigLink|variant=long|logo=noborder}}''', the bathhouses from '''{{BarberSurgeonsLink|variant=long|logo=noborder}}''', and the 1st edition '''{{WheelFortuneLink|variant=long|logo=noborder}}''' crown spaces. (updated 12/2018)
</ref> to your supply.<ref>
{{IconBook}}
If the Festival is used to remove a meeple, the fairy cannot be moved, as an action was still taken in phase {{ColorBlue|2. Placing a meeple}}. (5/2014)
</ref> <ref>
{{IconBook}} 
If the Festival is used to remove a meeple, the Phantom can still be placed on that turn. (11/2013) 
</ref>

<!--T:54-->
[[File:C3-Festival-Example.png|frame|none|'''Example:''' {{ColorRed|You}} place the festival tile you have drawn. Instead of placing a meeple on this tile, you take the meeple from the city next to it back into your supply. <ref>
{{IconWorld}}
This example has been added in the {{TextC3}} revised version of the rules. 
</ref>]]

<!--T:14-->
The player can also choose to do neither of the above. '''Note''' that you are not allowed to place a meeple on the Festival itself. 

<!--T:15-->
Captured meeples (from {{TowerLink|logo=hide}} expansion) cannot be returned to the player's supply in this way.
}}

<!--T:17-->
{{RulesScoring|rules=
When you complete one or more areas (e.g. a monastery, a road etc.) by placing a Festival tile, you score them according to the normal rules.

<!--T:38-->
|finalscoring=

<!--T:19-->
There is no additional scoring at the end of the game with the Festival tiles.
