Update: That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 3 Episode 12 is now streaming on Crunchyroll.
With the conflict between saints and monsters already over, the previous episode of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 3 focused on showing the reconciliation and negotiation of terms of peace. The twelfth episode will feature a festival to celebrate Rimuru Tempest's acceptance as a Demon Lord, and the synopsis reveals that the residents of Tempest will be busy preparing for the celebration.
The official website of the isekai anime has revealed preview stills and the synopsis for Season 3 Episode 12, which is titled Festival Preparations, and it continues to adapt the Founding the Demon Capital arc of Fuse's light novel series. The beginning of the season showed that Rimuru was intending to throw a festival to welcome those who've come to support him on becoming a full-fledged Demon Lord. With the tension over now, it looks like the festival will finally happen in the next episode, and the people of the nation of Tempest will be preparing for the event.
Based on Chapter 102 of the source material, we can expect to see Rimuru approach business partners and allies about helping start the upcoming festival, including Myourmiles. It'll likely also feature King Gazel of the Armed Nation of Dwargon, and he will be one of the noble figures expected to receive festival invitations, so we can expect some important people attend the festival.

Things get complicated when a priest that Rimuru sends to Lubelius is killed, but in Volume 8, which focuses mainly on a festival that's happening in Tempest.
Crunchyroll shared a description for Tensura Season 3:
Rimuru has officially become a Demon Lord after defeating Clayman. Following Walpurgis, the Demon Lords’ banquet, Rimuru’s domain is expanded to include the entire Great Forest of Jura. Anticipating a flood of representatives from all races showing up to pay their respects, Rimuru decides to throw a festival to commemorate the opening of Tempest, using it as an opportunity to gain new citizens and present Demon Lord Rimuru to the world. Meanwhile, in the Holy Empire of Lubelius, home base of the monster-hating cult of Luminism, Holy Knight Captain Hinata receives a message from Rimuru. But the message is actually a fabricated declaration of war sent by some unknown party. Upon learning that Hinata is heading for Tempest, Rimuru makes a decision… Thus begins a new challenge for Rimuru, striving to distinguish friend from foe in a pursuit of the ideal nation where humans and monsters can prosper together.
