village fetes
Rural community celebrations
Village fetes are outdoor community gatherings held in rural British villages, typically featuring games, competitions, craft stalls, baked goods, and local entertainment.
They're summer traditions meant to raise money for churches, schools, or community projects: The village fete had a tombola, a cake competition, and children racing with eggs on spoons.
The word fete comes from French for festival.
