Developing a Festival ~ Planning

 2.   Finalizing General Details (Location, Dates & Timing, Insurance, etc.)

Now that the festival is in the planning stage, all key elements have to be finalized and contracts signed where necessary. Make sure everything is in place before proceeding too far. Here is a list of elements to consider. 

3. Festival Programs

Finalizing your festival’s program should be one of your first priorities. Your whole festival revolves around festival events and activities. If you are having specialized and/or unique activities, you need to firm them up quickly. You don’t want to have to change your program halfway through the planning stage. The more complex your festival’s events and activities are; the more time and effort needed to make them run smoothly and efficiently.
