The events and activities you plan will affect both the quality and draw of your festival. Here are a few considerations:
€ Do the
events and activities you are considering compliment the theme of your
festival?
€ Do you have
enough manpower available to plan and implement each activity?
€ Are the
costs in line when you consider your return both in terms of dollars and time?
€ Are your
planned activities unique enough to interest attendees?
€ Will the
planned activities be accepted by your town and its residents? (e.g. a rock
concert)
€ Have you
given yourselves enough time to plan and implement your activities properly?
€ Are you
going to have the same activities as other festivals in your area?
€ If the event
you are planning is dependent upon other people (contractor), have you investigated
them thoroughly and are they reliable?
€ If your
event involves vendors, will you be able to attract enough to make your event
successful and are you going to attract high quality vendors?
€ Will you
location be able to handle to type of events you are planning?
