Beefalo contests can be held year-round for lucky gold nuggets, as long as you have access to the event structures.

They don't? Rat races worked perfectly fine for me in the world that I played during and after it. I think this is fully intended.

I did a quick check in-game and the carrat racing does not function out of season: the rats can't be put on any of the gyms (only the scale) and they won't queue up at the starting point and so the race can never start.
This lines up also with the Pig King only giving gold nuggets and clout snouts for the wrestling matches out of season, Clay Vargs never spawning even when the shrine is lit out of season, and Gobblers not giving lucky gold nuggets when fed berries out of season.
It's still possible that the contests working out of season is intentional, but there's no precedent for it. Hopefully a dev'll respond.

Fake memories strike again. Welp, I guess we'll need devs to decide how they want it to work
