Resposta esperada

Possible purpose 1 — To inform and educate: The mention of history ("dates back three centuries") and celebration of "local traditions" suggests the author aims to convey factual and cultural information about the festival. Evidence: historical timeframe and reference to traditions. Possible purpose 2 — To promote or encourage attendance/economic support: Phrases like "drawing visitors" and "support artisans" and the explicit hope that the event "stimulates the neighborhood economy" indicate a promotional or community-development aim, encouraging readership to attend or support local commerce. Evidence: focus on visitors, artisans, and economic stimulation. A strong response contrasts these aims, explains how language choices (historical detail vs. economic appeal) support each hypothesis, and notes audience and context implications (local residents vs. tourists/stakeholders).
