I think I have fixed your concerns expressed in the review. I added some content, filled in the refs and and cleared up what I see now was confusing: the World and Spring Celebrations are two different events, although I have put them in the same article due to their close similarities. I reworked the lead to clear that up. (I thought about making them 2 separate articles, but figured they'd just end up merged because of the similarities.)
