The Manberg Festival was a festival held in Manberg to celebrate Schlatt's presidency and the newfound nation of Manberg.
It was decorated and organised by Karl and Tubbo, Tubbo to give a speech to start off the festival. However, in banishment, Wilbur had started going insane, having other plans for the festival. He claimed that this was their way of getting back L’Manberg and revealed to Tommy that he had planted stacks of TNT under the podium, with the help of Dream, where the festival was primarily held, in hopes of killing Schlatt. Tommy strongly disapproved of the idea, and refused to believe they were the bad guys as Wilbur claimed. He strongly believed that they could get L’Manberg back without blowing it up, mostly worried about Tubbo’s safety. Technoblade on the other hand, was on Wilbur’s side as long as he could create any sort of chaos.
As the festival approached, Tommy kept trying to convince Wilbur to not blow up L’Manberg but failed, so he and Wilbur planned with Tubbo to have a safe word in his speech so he could run off the podium in time to not get blown up. On the day of the festival, various citizens of Manberg arrived as well as Techno since Schlatt didn’t ban him. Tommy and Wilbur hid on the towers, getting an above and close view to where Schlatt, George, Quackity and Tubbo were on the podium.
The festival started and Tubbo began his speech celebrating Manberg, Schlatt and the banishment of Wilbur and Tommy, claiming they were traitors. At this point, Schlatt turned the tables on Tubbo, encasing him in a box and announcing to the public that Tubbo was actually a traitor to Manberg and a spy for Pogtopia. Schlatt called up Techno to the podium, ordering him to kill Tubbo with his rocket launcher crossbow. With Tommy panicking, Wilbur reassured him that Techno wouldn’t kill Tubbo but Techno gave in to “peer pressure” and killed him, Schlatt and Quackity. Without thinking, Tommy pearled to the podium and started fighting Techno only for Techno to kill him as well.
In a panic, everyone started running off and dying from Techno’s crossbow but Schlatt ordered them to come back to their seats. Niki refused to sit and started shouting at him, so he ordered her exile but decided to execute her as well. Wilbur intervened and made his own speech at Schlatt. Wilbur also revealed to Tommy that he couldn’t find the button to blow up Manberg so they ran off to Pogtopia with Tubbo, Niki, and Techno with multiple Manbergians coming after them to kill them.
At Pogtopia, Tommy confronted Techno about killing Tubbo and challenged him to a fight but Techno easily won. After the fight, Tommy, Tubbo and Niki decided that they couldn’t trust Wilbur and Techno after Wilbur’s plan and Techno’s massacre.
Outside Pogtopia, BadBoyHalo, Antfrost, Sam and Skeppy decided to create their own faction The Badlands which would side with “chaos”, in this case Team Chaos: Wilbur, Techno and Dream.
