But as Johnny and his family get deeper into the preparations for the festival, they find that everything is not as rosy as it seems. They discover that the town's history as a producer of asbestos has led to some major health concerns, including a rise in mesothelioma cases among residents.

Despite the health concerns, the Roses are determined to move ahead with the festival. They hope that by highlighting the town's history and celebrating its unique culture, they can attract new business and investment to Schitt's Creek.
