What do I do with variations of keywords?

Seo noob here. Trying to build a blog for my business and see a lot of variation for the keyword I m targetting. For example, when looking for '<festival name> in city', there are variations of it like 'city <festival name>' or '<festival name> city' or '<festival name> in city 2022'.

Do I have to include all these keywords in my blog or is Google smart enough to pick the variations as well and rank for those keywords too?
