I like the Spice Festival to try out the spicy foods and the spices to make them with. I used to be able to harvest tomatoes, but that's gone by the wayside, even before Seasons launched. Going to this festival, and also the Humor and Hijinks one, makes for a nice little 'date', especially for teens.
I bought the spices at the spice festival. But how do you use them?. I can only place them in the inventory or on a surface.
Romance Festival, because it provides a quick and easy way to hook up sims I want together without having to go through the hassle of a full-blown romance. (You can probably tell I'm not playing this game for the romance aspect.) I rarely even visit the other festivals, but the Spice Festival sounds like a good opportunity for my cooks to get accustomed to spicy food and learn new recipes, so I might look into that more.
I like Spice Festival the most. There's free food and my Sims always hang out around the bubble blower or singing karaoke with friends. It's the festival I could most see myself spending time at in real life.
The Flea Market and Humor & Hijinks Fest were close in the running though. I like getting deals at the Flea Market or trading collectibles I have doubles of to try and complete the set. Humor & Hijinks can make you a good chunk of simoleons if your team ends up winning and it's great if you're trying to get through the higher levels of comedy or mischief skill.
GeekCon isn't bad, but with Seasons it's always rainy and broken (I haven't seen it functioning once since I got the Seasons expansion). The Romance Festival isn't bad either, but I usually run out of things for my Sim to do and find myself just running out the clock until it's over so I can send them home.

I believe you can use them once you gain the recipes for eating each food that spice requires and then make it at home. I have had to buy more as the one I get I store in the fridge and after a while of making the recipes they vanish so I assume I am using them in some of those recipes. As the item use from the fridge is just a blink if you get notification at all - I just notice sometimes I have to add more ingredients and fresh produce. I only add 10 produce to the fridge at a time and sell all the rest or store it in a trunk - just adding fresh picked to the fridge when the produce gets to 3 or4 so it is always fresh and excellent quality - just in case it helps. Don't know if it does in Sims 4 or not. LOL.

@Writin_Reg: in TS4, I've always dumped all my produce into the fridge (moving it from my sims' inventories), and it's never rotted (unlike fish). Some families have had 99+ apples/etc in the fridge for years--sim and real. If you'd rather not, you don't have to pick 'em fresh every week.
My fav. festival is the Spice one; there's simply a greater variety of things to do there. Second fav is the Humor/Hijinks, for skilling purposes; GeekCon is useful for the same reason but I don't find it fun so I rarely send my sims there (and as someone else said, the ones who could use the skilling are usu. at work). Y'all have given me ideas for the Romance festival, thanks--I've found it boring, but obviously I'm not milking it for ze drrrrrrrrrama.
I hope EA eventually makes the spice-fest plants seasonally-appropriate, and put a canvas roof over GeekCon.
I finding myself sending my sims to the romance festival the most out of all of them. It's pretty and I like seeing what the love guru has to say about my sims. Also convenient for when I have a couple I was planning on getting married. No need to find a wedding venue or set up one myself.
I just love the idea of a community garage sale type thing where everyone puts in their stuff for neighbors to get a deal on. Also, if you are aware of the catalog prices in buy mode, its a great way to make a few extra dollars too. (selling things back to buy mode after getting a deal on them at the flea market) I'd love it to be expanded though, sort of trash to treasure style where your sim could spend time refurbishing it so its more valuable or such.
Loving yourself is the most simple and complicated thing you can do for you.
I do love the flea market, if only for buying the old couch and armchair that you can only unlock by buying it there. It is so perfect for more run down apartments and homes.
I like them all except the humor one. They are unique on it's own. The romance festival is useful if your sim has a crush or to go on a date to. The spice festival is nice for a foodie sim or for any sim to enjoy actually. The flee market is fun too if you want to sell your stuff and buy something new. I recently gone to the geekcon festival for the first time and i really loved the set-up and the many activities. I think it was done very well and I really felt i was there. It was like i got lost in all the different games to play and activities to do.
I'm a sucker for romance. I love the colors and music. And the rose petals everywhere!! It's sooo dreamy and magical. Closest I can get to witches. tehe

The Romance Festival is nice for marrying couples where they're too broke for a big wedding (or I'm too lazy to plan one), but I want something a little more than just the immediate elopement.

This was a hard choice, however I chose the Romance festival because it helps my sims that are shy open up more and be more romantic toward their partner. It adds a little extra boost to help them become girlfriend/boyfriend.

My second one would be the Flea market, it really helps my broken Sims and collectors and I love looking for the special items
