Regarding the city fests, would it be possible to have a one-time quest showing you the way each month? I imagine it to be under level 20 (for new players) but mostly so that flashing red book would make the location impossible to miss. 
Very nice idea but I imagine a lot of people being angry (like the ones for the house quests in FP/Qey).
Our City Festivals guide on zam keeps track of which festival is where each month (and the text up top will auto-update itself when a new month rolls over). We also have info on where to find each festival location. Not a great solution for in-game but just an option!
