Factors To Consider When Planning An Enlightenment Festival

By Susan Wood


People go through a lot of work stress on a daily basis. Taking some time off to have fun is healthy to reduce chances of being depressed. It is up to the event organizers to ensure that these people are not disappointed when they attend an enlightenment festival. The following measures should be put in place by the planning team.

The first thing a person should be careful about this the location of the festival. It should be in an area where people have access to. Locating it at the center of a big city could make it unfavorable to many due to the congestion that they will have to put up with. A very local place that is not populated is a problem too since most of the audience may be residing quite far from the place.

Consider the date you want the festival to take place. It should be convenient for the people in that they have the money and time to enable them to attend. Considering the days of the month when people have some money in their pockets is hence recommended. Weather at times is unpredictable, organizing an event during the rainy season may be quite disappointing.

Successful festivals do not just happen. They are carefully planned and strategically organized. Every requirement on that day has been thought about for a period before it can be included on the list. Enough time will be needed for every detail to be taken care of. Event licenses have to be applied for, processed and issued to the organizers before the date.

Always consider the safety of your audience. People will not go to places that they feel are not safe for them. Put measures to ensure that no weapon is allowed into the area to prevent people from injuring one another. In cases of big events, administration police and private security firms can be hired to beef up security.

Laying out a budget for the event will help you know how much you are going to charge. The type of people that will entertain your audience is a factor to consider; how well they are known for their performances and how much they are going to charge you. For first time events do not focus on profits a lot.

When planning, ensure that you have a target group in mind. This is what is going to determine how everything else is going to be arranged. For instance, if the festival is musical, a performance for teens should not be the same as the one for young children, the middle-aged or the older people. Each of these set of groups has their individual tastes and preferences.

Marketing is what will make people aware of the existence of an event. If you are not in a position to use the media to do this, use the internet. Social media offers a free platform for you to advertise the upcoming event. You can use posters too, or you can call your friend and ask them to spread it amongst their peers.
