This should be a MEGA event.

With over 1300 attendees, why has https://coord.info/GCANXX6 not received Mega status?

Ummm, because of the rules governing Giga Events, Mega Events and Block Parties?  This was a side event related to GeoWoodstock XXI in the same city.  I enjoyed it.

It was an enjoyable day, both Geowoodstock and the Midnight Madness event. It was mentioned at Midnight Madness why it didn't get Mega status, and I wondered the same thing.

Here's the guidance from the Help Center page on Mega and Giga Events:

 

Quote

Mega-Event committees may host one additional event on the same day of the Mega-Event. For example, a morning event or an evening event. The decision to host this additional event is optional and up to the Mega-Event committee. The additional event, or any other side-event, is not eligible to qualify for Mega, Giga, or Block Party status.
