what's the difference during "we love the queen's day" event

[monotonous]

i rarely paid attention to the entertainment because i could figure out what difference dose it make to keep city in celebration, so is there a circumstance i should spend money on entertainment?

Reduces corruption in the town celebrating (providing you keep it celebrating).

It's in the Civilopedia. All you need is the "fireworks" tech (just before gunpowder) and you're done. The Chinese have this as a starting tech.
No, that's not true.

This is the WLTKD: (we love the ____ day)
From the top of my head you need:
- at least size 6 city (mostly)
- no unhappy, resisting or starving citizens
- more happy than content citizens

It does:
- less waste (only shields, loss of commerce is the same)
- chances of a culture flip are halved
- less effect of spies

It may make a difference if the extra shield production saves you extra turns on whatever a particular city is producing. If converting one of your working population to an entertainer triggers a "we love the king/queen" celebration and reduces military unit production in that city from say 4 turns to 3 turns, then you have a good deal.

Otherwise, you would probably be better off in most cases to forgo the "we love the king/queen" celebration, and make your unproductive citizens scientists or tax collectors rather than entertainers.

Keep in mind too that if your city is producing a building and you have Replaceable Parts, engineers are potentially more valuable in speeding up building than using entertainers to trigger a "we love the king/queen" celebration.

Town also has to have the potential to grow as well (doesnt have to be growing (food can be neutral)) thats a key to WLTKD's so if your size 6 without an aqueduct (or river) or size 12 without a hospital you wont get a WLTKD.

I didn't know that about growth potential, bigFrank

This is not true. You can have size six but no aquaduct and size 12 but no hospital in WLTKD. I have lots of them in my current 100k game.

Exactly. I never build hospitals and all my cities remain at 12 pop for the rest of the game, and they still love the general and have fireworks.
