“Developing a Festival” (Appendixes "A" - Determining Size and Scope)

 The following should be considered when determining the size and scope of your festival:

€    How many attendees could you draw to your festival?

€    Where would these attendees come from?

€    Is there a location that could handle this number of attendees and is it available at the time you need it?

€    Can your town handle that number of attendees?

€    What restrictions could your town impose to limit the number of attendees?

€    What is the demand for your type of festival?

€    Are there other nearby festivals taking place close to your planned dates?

€    Is there enough parking?

€    If you are planning to include vendors in your festival, will they come?

€    Are you planning enough interesting activities to interest attendees and vendors?

€    Does your group have enough manpower to handle a festival of this size?
