I think that the typography used for the date works very well. It is all uppercase, but I believe that since it is only a small amount of text this does not take away from its legibility. It is Sans serif, which makes it simple and easier to read from a distance. The color choice for the date also works well against all of the colors and the black border of the poster.
As for the name of the festival, this is a little bit harder to read. It is all uppercase, just like the date, but the typeface is narrower. It has the effect of a neon light, like one would see in a bar, which semi makes sense for a cigar event, but from a distance is hard to make out. However, it does appear that they applied some problem solving to try and counteract this name's illegibility. They placed the logo typeface at the bottom of the poster, where the poster is darker. They then appear to have placed a black fade closer to the bottom. This black, coupled with the color of the typography of the logo, helps the logo to pop.
