Connecticut College hosts a Festivus holiday every year in which each residence hall hosts its own party culminating in a dance in the student center.
In 2010 the Christian Science Monitor, in an article entitled "Festivus becomes worldwide holiday," reported that Festivus was a top trend on Twitter.
In 2010 an inmate at the Theo Lacy jail in Santa Ana, CA received Kosher meals for his Festivus "faith".
In 2008 the Adams Morgan neighborhood of Washington, D.C. held an "airing of grievances" on bulletin boards attached to a kiosk. These grievances were then aired by a town crier in a jester hat the following weekend.
In 2007, a Wisconsin man requested permission to erect a Festivus pole next to Green Bay City Hall's nativity scene as a response to public religious and secular displays.
"Festivus" was the name of a seasonal Ben & Jerry's ice cream made in 2000 and 2001.
"Festivus" was a term used by the 2000 Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League (NFL) and their fans to denote the NFL Playoffs. During the season, Ravens head coach Brian Billick, wanting his players to focus on every game, banned the word "playoffs". Players substituted the term "festivus" for playoffs and "Festivus Maximus" for the Super Bowl. The Ravens eventually won the 2001 Festivus Maximus, Super Bowl XXXV.
