in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Comment: No indication of notability. Sources are primary and/or non-independent (including several copies of the same press release) and for a one-off local event such as this there would have to be multiple secondary sources providing significant coverage of the event.
In addition, the draft is written in a very promotional tone. That could be fixed by editing the text, but the lack of notability can't. bonadea contributions talk 13:59, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
