Scarlet Light Fair was everything at once - there were rides as well as stores with various cafes, food trucks, and games!
The fair was held in First Ring, in one of the main squares - a rare place for First Ring to have such a large open area. From time to time, there was something big happening here.
Yeah, outside the Citadel monsters were raging, and in Dead Lands, there was nothing but devastation, but that didn't mean millions of people had to live in eternal grief and despair.
If the Citadel intended to survive, it simply needed to keep the people, the departmental staff and the Phantoms actively working, each on their own task. That required an appropriate level of morale. The fairs were perfect for that.
However... It didn't always work as intended. Or rather, sometimes, some distorted the original purpose of an event.
