According to the official Nintendo page, “The Splatsville hub area gets decorated in a fancy way, and players with any Nintendo Switch™ Online membership can choose to champion one of three causes. After you make your choice, you’ll participate in Splatfest Battles, where the goal is to ink as much of the stage as you can without getting splatted too often.”
They also added, “At the end of the event, the winning side will be revealed, and in-game goodies will be handed out (with the winning side getting more, of course).”

Why is it so important from a fan’s standpoint?
If thought carefully, this Splatfest is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of experience. Not because of it coming back after three years, but because of the timing of it. Splatoon 3 is completing one month soon, and along with this, the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are releasing just days after the one-month anniversary.
And that too during the Halloween holiday season, thus a perfect blend of enjoyment and vacation together. Therefore, the hype for the event if skyrockets further won’t be a surprise. Along with this, the Nintendo Live 2022 is also scheduled for the 8th and 9th of this month, therefore making it a great month for Nintendo fans.
