Long ago and I have not seen it here is a drunk relay race maybe from the Sake fountain to the teahouse?? Fill bola bags with stone [or whatever], drink 2-3 pitchers of Sake??
I guess the sit around and boost/listen to my song/oh look I can take my characters clothes off and emote really sexah is SOooooooooo0o Ohhhhh Soooooooooooo0o played out.
I don't know just trying to think outside the box, possibly see some more interaction/offspring RP happen from Tavern night.. *shrugs* I know I'm a dreamer

A Japanese holiday that falls about that time is Niiname-sai, which is an Imperial harvest festival. A time to give thanks for hard work and the harvest. It has since been changed to Labour Thanksgiving, but the former is a lot more culture-oriented and is still celebrated.
Alternately, there's a holiday in mid-October called Taiiku no Hai, which celebrates a sound mind and body, with sports and contests. That one's a far more recent creation, obviously. (It's only been around less than 50 years I think.)
You might consider combining the two somehow to make a Niiname-sai celebration that incorporates harvest themes. Scavenger hunts with harvesty vegetables/fruits, hopping races with bags full of bountiful harvest, etc....
Gift bags could be given out with a book containing culture-specific info, art (description of paintings on pages), Haiku, poetry or what have you, a gm-made fruit basket, enchanted apples, grapes of wrath, etc as well. (I would volunteer to craft the food items.)
Just a few ideas I'd thought to toss out.

As long as someone dies ...HAHA...
No link the site so its can be seen by all and possibly pick out their favorite or interesting section of the traditions or activities that do take place.. BUT if it comes off sounding like Asian thanksgiving... I'll cry...lol..

I dont know...audience participation type stuff hasnt worked to well from what I remember. Best I can think of, outside of stuff like that, is if someone can con Mariko to do one of her dances/shows with her geisha apprentice. It was a hell of a performance when the BL were at her spot. I dont mean the full deal with the massages and all that...just a dance with the music playin.

I didn't post it cause no one seemed real hip on the idea. It -is- a form of thanksgiving and harvest and what have you...honestly sounds like you guys have better ideas on tap.

All about who's the audience... With that said what if we did a type of "champ" thing about 25-30 minutes into tavern time. What can be tamed and let loose around the tavern that's mean ish?? when their all dead, have hidden ninjas drop piles of gold??

Probably Rune Beetles, if I'm guessing, would be the most useful if you want the theme. If we had more than one tamer to drop them off, because the hit their stats take when taming them would mean they're not nearly as painful as they would be otherwise and we'd need more. Dragons are also not out of the realm of possibility, even if they're not the Tokunese type. The main issue would be that a tamer could only drop one at a time because of their ability to control only one of the beasts at a time. Even recalling out and grabbing another and gating it back in would put the last one dead by the patrons' hands before the next could be brought in. We'd need a few tamers helping each other to make it work well, but it's doable.
That said, I'd be willing to use my tamer to help, if you want to make it work. Three tamers in conjunction with each other would probably be good. Sounds like it could be fun.
