The general guideline I've been following (and I've been adding a LOT of Events and Places, due to my work on adding YouTube videos of contra dances) is to only add an Event or Place if I can link it to more than one recorded-music-related entity (i.e. Recording, or Release). I know there is an idea out there of trying to copy artists whole event schedules into MusicBrainz (and I don't oppose that) -- but for my use, I limit myself to only adding Events (and Places) that I need to link together other otherwise unconnected entities. And I also regularly have limited information, so I'll have to attach a Recording to a whole festival Event, rather than a specific day, if I don't know what day it was recorded on. And I'll create an Event for a specific workshop at a festival if and only if I have multiple recordings of that particular workshop.
