Burning Olaf festival keeps happening?

[Mookeylama]

i'm getting what FEELS like a glitch but not sure. i've finished Tending the Flames quest. got the reward and the quest is showing in my finished lists. but sometimes when i go to the college, the festival is happening again. npcs are there, food stands, and Viarmo even starts the festival dialog.

it fells off, but i read this...

 

'then watch and listen as Viarmo sets the effigy on fire and declares you the newest addition to the Bards College. All guests will applaud and Viarmo himself will seek you out and explain that several College professors will have jobs for you and that the burning of the King will now be a weekly event'

2 questions;

does the festival really happen every week

and if so, am i just seeing that weekly event or am i getting a glitch?

i'd think even if the festival does reoccur, they would not use the dialog about me becoming a full fledged member ect

From USLEEP history log:

 

King Olaf's Festival was intended to run every week, on Loredas (Saturday) once the initial quest to restore the festival was completed. To fix this, the following changes were required:

• KingOlafsFestivalStarter needed 3 of its aliases set to optional since they're not even required anyway and two of the NPCs could be dead.
• Viarmo's alias in Tending the Flames (MS05KingOlafsFestival) needs to be set independently since his alias in MS05 will be invalid by this point.
• Viarmo's inventory would get a new torch every time this ran, so all the torches in his inventory will be taken from him when the quest shuts down.
• Stage 20 of MS05KingOlafsFestival will attempt to set stage 290 in MS05 each time it runs, but this only needs to be done once.

(Bug #14140)

 

Not sure if his dialog should run, but that might have been a side effect of making the event run every week.

nice! thank you much. felt like a glitch, but thought it may've been caused by like Cutting room or the like. i did notice it happened on Loredas too
