In a touch of disappointing news, Nintendo of Europe has reported via their Twitter account that the European Splatfest will not be happening this weekend. The previous Splatfest in Europe occurred September 19th. There has been no explanation on the small delay. On the bright side, voting will be open on Saturday beginning at 12 CEST:

Splatfest is a recurring event in Splatoon hosted by the Squid Sisters, Callie and Marie, who are both seen atop their own trucks singing and dancing in a continuous loop. During this event, Inklings are able to choose between two teams, which differ from event to event and participate in battles against the other team. Inkopolis Plaza and all the stages are decorated to reflect the event, becoming nighttime and being adorned with festive lights.
