Vytal Festival

The Vytal Festival is an international festival among Hunters and Huntresses, where academy students from the four kingdoms of Vytal come together in what may be tournament fights. It is unknown if the location of the Festival rotates every year or if the Festival happens every year in the first place, but in RWBY's first year, the Festival's location is in Vale.

It is regarded as an extremely important event, with Glynda pushing students to practise months before it was to come and stating that Beacon  students competing in it will be representing all of Vale. It also seems to be iconic, with the members of Team RWBY excited over upon hearing of it.
