How about it's part of a week long festival thing, every night a meet "up"
there, until the equinox, at which time there'll be even more
rambunctiousness. People from all over north America, some from further
afield.

They can go to hell, especially the lattermost ;P

Sure, why not. And a host of mundane magophiles and magic groupies can join
them. Of course it might attract the attention of the anti-mage policlubs
and so on. A purely astral festival would be much safer, only the
sympathetic could get there.
