Found it on the first planet! Awesome!
All these builds are so tasteful and colour-coordinated. Lots of pieces resized in creative ways, too. I’m ashamed of my lame builds :-p

Awesome! I just joined via PC and currently dancing with a group on Console.
Someone kept flying their gigantic corvette overhead in the main instance so I got a game crash, but found a much more chill instance on console now, dancing with Pod Man Sky right now while I log into PC and try find a good instance.
My PC name will be Skeleton Worrier should you see me Ada 07
I love the water tower with the glowing turtle, might be my favourite place for the main festival grounds <3

I need to break for an hour, but I’ll be back for the galactic tea rooms event when it starts.
Remember to cycle MP on and off to switch between different instances if anyone finds themselves in a lowly populated instance and wants to find a larger group.
I think the fireworks are about to begin in one of the instances for console players but it might be full RN.

Galactic Tea Rooms event glyphs are here, starting now and running through for the next hour.
This event is taking place at a base called “TGTRs Festival Showcase” but there’s lots of other bases on display I thought looked pretty interesting. One was a Giant Teapot with a cafe inside of it.

I’m sure the ogranisers would love to see you at their events @adlopez16 , the Main Festival grounds themselves are so beautiful and inviting I actually found it hard to leave and go to the events in other systems when the time slots came around.
The event worlds will be up and available even after their time slots have ended so it’s still fun to stroll through even after they’ve ended, and joining the VC in the Grand Festival Discord while an event is active is a good way to hear what’s going on, have civ leaders explain the activities or their builds etc.
Next one up starts in 5 minutes, it’s Exocraft Racing by Aurelis Prime. I believe it is in the Main Festival Grounds system too!

Racing was mayhem spread across the version mismatches. Once everyone got tired of exocraft it naturally turned to people riding their creatures around which is always the more fun variant in my opinion.
I got some footage here (excuse the afk moments, playing on both PC and Console)
Up next is a building show case.
Dread-Force
Community System Showcase

Next up is not a location but a free giveaway
Free and unlimited corvette deliveries for all multiplayer platforms for 2 hours! https://nomansapp.com/
I believe a lot of the functions on the delivery bot are now behind a patreon pay wall so this is actually a pretty good deal. Not something I use personally but for those who want a really cool Corvette instead of building one, this is a great time to grab one!
Edit:
Starting now, the Mos Espa podrace and mos eisley cantina hangout (strictly no droids)

Thanks for the pics! It was getting late in my timezone and I didn’t stick around long. Did the second address on the list have a typo in it or did I misdial?
On the first planet, I was in a session with other Europeans. We walked up a hill until we were outside the owned bases, and made our own fireworks. After giving some away, I left with more fireworks in my possession than what I arrived with–someone else was handing them out, too. 
Considering that we are talking about glitchy multiplayer, this is a well organised event.

It worked for me but the blurry image I shared probably didnt help.
Glad you found people to have fireworks show with, I missed them on console, couldnt get into the instance on time but was partying with a bunch of people outside Norman and Pod Man Skys booth.
Despite PC and console currently being seperated with a version mismatch, this went exceedingly well, there werent even any griefing reports, just the odd person parallel parking their corvette and being tracked down and asked to move.
Looking forward to the Dragon Air Show at the start of todays events.
I have photos from last night but I dunno if I’ll have time to share them before todays events.
ARG is doing things, and I need to get todays schedule posted too for parity sake in the other thread 
Edit:
I might actually have time!
I got some videos of the events by live archiving my travels. Sucks that I cannot broadcast the Discord VC banter but just pretend there are lots of voices of people being amazed by all there was on show.
The thing I think I heard most commonly said by people as they arrived through the portal was…
“Oh my god! There’s a Ferris Wheel?! OMG IS THAT A CAROUSEL!?”
I arrived as the gates opened so first two are just farting about and checking out the Festival Grounds and basking in their beauty.
Then I went to the Galactic Tea Rooms event, showed up at the wrong location and tried to gain entry to a Tea Pot with no power (apparently latest update completely broke wiring, again, no amount of reloading would bring it back)
This video also contains my visit to @Shadow429 's Summer Camp and ends with me sitting in for the first ever Pod Mans Sky Roadshow Tour podcast.
I then headed over to Aurelis Primes exo races. Seperated by version mis matches, we all tried to have our own little races as best we could. I of course, forgot I hadn’t upgraded any of my exocraft really, so I showed up a little underpowered.
I skipped out on the PVP stuff like I normally do and used those hours to eat food and take a break from the madness.
I was helping out/ being present for a Voyagers Haven map presentation that started at 3am in my timezone, so I spent the last few events there making sure everyones eggs were in a row before it went live.
I have no footage of this (lots of screenshots though!) but the VC Chat presentation was fantastic and it seems a lot more people are excited by the Map and everything else the Haven is bringing to communities like the Travellers Exchange and the Traveller Archive.
Their goal to bring the different communities together better than they ever have before with unified websites that encompass everything it is we love to do as explorers, was put forward really well and seemed to get a lot of people very excited for the future of NMS Civ-play.

The Pirate Syndicates event is about to start, its a boxing arena for PVP thats played with the gravity gun and trash.
They also have someone on sight ferrying new trash to the arena on their colossus to keep the ammunition in supply.
It’s taking place on the main festival planet, just across the water from the Main Festival Grounds.
Going AFK for a few but streaming it here.
Edit:
Next up is
Buddies
Pilgrim Exo Roller Coaster
It’s in Eissentam, you can request taxis on discord if you don’t have a Portal in Eissentam
I broadcast this but for some reason it didn’t show up on YT, not sure why or waht happened, it was showing as broadcasting but just wasn’t showing up on YT… The Rollercoaster was a LOT of fun, definitely go there and check it out at any time. Had some fun foot races in it too.
Edit:
Next up, back at the main fair grounds
The Neoterra Collective
Grand Festival & Fireworks Show
Scratch that, next up is in the Sudzerbal Galaxy

From tranquil shorelines and glowing waterways to ambitious architectural projects, Helios reflects what Neoterra has always tried to be: a place where Travelers can build, collaborate, and leave something meaningful behind.
Edit:
Took a little break to get some food and do some housework, missed the PVP Demolition derby but it sounded like fun. Up next at 8:00:00 PM is another live podcast from Pod Mans Sky which runs for the next hour, followed by a Xeno Arena Tournament by Aurelis Prime at 9:00:00 PM , both in the main festival grounds.
Edit:
The Xeno Arena PVP went off without a hitch. Here was the champions
WINNERS!!!
The Official Xeno Champions of the Grand Festival:
Gundalf The Tactical - CONSOLE CHAMPION!
lu.cc64 - PC CHAMPION!
(we’re gonna say Natix technically wins because it feels unfair winning my own tournament)
Congratulations to our winners! Hopefully in the future we can host more big tournaments - be it at the next Festival or even Unification Day!
The winners will recieve a place in the Aurelis Prime Hall of Fame. Be sure to join the Aurelis Prime server and possibly become a rich citizen in our well-developed society!
this also marks the final event for Aurelis Prime in the festival, it was a blast to attend and despite the issues with version mismatching, i think we had a blast - so thank you for having us!
Next up is the
Nexus Travellers
Base “Feria Latina + discoteca bitbeat”
In the main festival grounds.

Due to unforeseen circumstances the next event is cancelled.
