There came a period of time where, oddly enough, Lex had little to do. He himself was trapped in Abaddon, so it wasn't like he could travel around much. He set things up so that as soon as the award ceremony ended at the Inn, the next event would kick off.
In fact, marketing for the cultural event had already begun.
Before the actual culture event was initiated, there would be a month's time so that if anyone needed to set up, they could. This would allow them to travel to the Inn, practice their performances, prepare any necessary ingredients or materials, and generally do whatever was required to ensure a good show.
The spin that the Inn would put on this was that just as the Midnight games displayed the military might of numerous communities, this event, formally called the Cultural Circus, would share the cultures of those communities. It was an attempt to foster friendly relations and a chance to spread their culture and tradition across the realm.
