Your point seems to be that local events are a major factor in choosing a destination, influencing everything from ambiance to costs. Now my refinement: I would say that if this is sometimes true, it is not an absolute rule; other practical constraints are often more important, especially for families.
School holidays, for example, determine the travel period long before considering a potential festival.
For us, finding a destination that fits the budget and dates is the first step, then local events are a bonus or a constraint.
If an event causes prices to rise, it just makes the destination impossible for a family on a tight budget, regardless of its interest.
The practicality and cost always take precedence.

Before rushing, the impact of local events on a trip has a condition: it is not always inherently significant, far from it.
A threshold of relevance must be reached for an event to become a decisive factor, otherwise the downside is negligible.
For example, in the deep countryside of Wallonia, a local village festival will not block all roads or triple the price of cottages; it is a reality.
The exit condition to avoid inconveniences related to events is therefore to evaluate the size and type of the destination before panicking.

Examples
The idea that local events are always a major factor in destination validation is an oversimplification; their weight is often conditional and depends on the traveler's objectives.
An event can drastically influence the atmosphere and costs, but for many, flexibility is king and other priorities take precedence.
In Senegal, for example, Tabaski increases prices, but if the goal is to visit family, the event is managed as a random factor, not a destination choice criterion.
The real question is the purpose of the trip, because the search for experience is different from family imperative.
There is a just middle ground between avoiding crowds and the obligation to travel.
