Promote a community festival as a way to meet local residents

Take an existing local festival, a harvest market, a music night, and market it outward to visitors as a chance to spend an evening alongside residents instead of only other tourists, using photos from past years on the destination's social channels and website. List it inside your seasonal itinerary content, too.

Why it works: Visitors remember a destination more when they got a genuine taste of local life instead of only visiting built-for-tourists attractions.
