Strategy
Festival fulfills multiple important roles in a deck-drawing engine, giving a village effect of +2 Actions and also +Buy for extra gains. However, it is a stop card, meaning that it does not draw any cards (unlike, e.g. Village). If put into a deck that cannot effectively use the +Actions and +Buy, it is usually no better than a fancy Silver.
Festival synergizes well with draw-to-X cards like Library by helping you to reduce handsize before playing your next draw card. A deck using Festival and Library will use as few Treasures as possible (often none at all) in order to maximize card draw from Library—in this case, Festival’s + and +1 Buy is the driving force that enables the deck’s buying power. This deck will still need to find a Library in the starting hand, however. Such a deck might be unreliable without trashing or removing non-Action card junk (e.g. Coppers and Estates).
Festival is usually a decent or good source of economy. Being Action-based virtual coin also allows for useful interactions with many other Action cards, such as Vassal and Throne Room.
