Yes - not sure what dates to put on it though. The Festival is the last two weekends in August and the campers start arriving a week or two before that. Ideally I wouldn't have to go back and reset the dates on all the tags each year.
Maybe we need a dating plan for yearly (seasonal?) features. A main map may ignore them, or shade them, or even make a point of rendering the tiles at the start and end of the dated events to make them appear and disappear.
