Two pairs of teachers without a cast of nationally-known DJs is more like a "workshop weekend", even if you have 20 out-of-town visitors. Another example, Tango Colorado puts on a special outreach weekend with 15 or 20 Denver teachers and Saturday milonga. Is that a festival?
I think, Tom, that such an event could be called a festival, but it's just a city-wide festival. That's sounds like a great way to get people in your area interested, so to them it would be a festival. For several years, one of our organizers ran a festival that incorporated art, music, dance, and poetry. It included live music and an instructor from NY. It was great fun for the locals and nearby cities. We called it a regional festival. I don't think I would have submitted it to be included in Shaun's list, though.
