I mean, events like spring,summer,etc, used to be fun and rewarding, but now it's just a waste of time in my own opinion. Take the spring festival for instance, I calculated how much xp I would be getting per hour and it's 1k xp O_o . Bottom line, events used to be very social, rewarding and unique in their way, now it's just redundancy. What changed? even holiday events were quite something.

If you only care about xp from a seasonal event, then RS3's Spring event this year still beats a lot of MMORPG-wannabes that give out much less or even no xp rewards.

First of all, I don't know which activity you are doing, nor do I know what your level is in that skill but the experience in the event is level based.

I just tested it out and calculated that for the Icon Carving section, doing the Fletching activity for which I am level 104, I'm getting approximately 30,240 xp per hour (28 xp per completed action on the active node which comes out to 504 xp per minute).

So if you're just getting 1k xp per hour, something is seriously wrong with how you're doing it or how you are calculating your xp per hour. You might want to take another look at that and check. Are you catching all of the butterflies before doing the event each day?
