Vytal Festival

A festival dedicated to the cultures of the world! There will be dances! Parades! A tournament!

The Vytal Festival is an international festival among Huntsmen and Huntresses, where academy students from the four kingdoms of Remnant come together. Various cultures of the world are celebrated during the festival with dances and parades.

A combat tournament is also organized for the event. It is unknown if the location of the Festival rotates every year or if the Festival is even annual, but in Team RWBY's first year, the Festival is located in the City of Vale.



Regarded as a pivotal event, the festival takes considerable planning and organization to set it up, with Glynda pushing students to practice months before it begins. She even goes as far to say that Beacon students competing in the tournament will be representing all of Vale.

It also seems to be iconic, with the members of Team RWBY showing excitement upon hearing of it. Apart from Beacon students, known participants in the tournament include Penny and Sun Wukong.

Trivia

 * It is currently unknown whether there are different age categories in the Festival for different student age groups.
 * All indications are that the Festival is an all-comers event rather than being restricted to Hunters and Huntresses; some extremely interesting and unique characters are arriving in Vale to compete.
