Definite article: going to (the) summer festival

Hello

I would appreciate it if you could have a look at the following sentences.

1) I went to summer festival in August.
2) I went to the summer festival in August.
3) I went to Summer Festival in August.

I would say sentence number two is grammatically correct and one is incorrect. Yet how about number three? Suppose "Summer Festival" is the name of a particular festival, is the definite article still needed?

Thanks for your time.

Hello, I would agree with you on 1 and 2, and I would not use an article for "Summer Festival" if it is the name of the festival.
