Game summary
Tropico 6: Festival challenges players to channel their creativity by planning and managing a series of celebrations, whilst combating ‘The Boredom’ – an evil, fun-fighting-force that threatens to thwart all festivities on the sun-soaked isles of Tropico.
Empowering players to serve up the best soirees possible, Tropico 6: Festival also adds a unique party planning mechanic to Tropico 6, allowing players to host 20+ types of festival. Four distinctive, themed areas will be included for players to throw spectacular shindigs, as well as new buildings such as the Dance School, Balloon and Fireworks factory to get the party started. Players will also be able to enjoy a host of new musical additions, alongside a snazzy party outfit (and paint job) for El Prez and the presidential palace.

Play Tropico 6: Festival on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Tropico 6: Festival on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
