Community Tool Box: Festivals

Although organizing it can be labor intensive, a festival can be a way of starting a community tradition and reaching people who are not normally involved with a particular cause or organization. A festival is a fun community event that is centered around a particular place or resource. This resource provides you with the basic steps in holding a festival, including how to set up an event committee, what to consider when selecting a site, examples of event planning tasks, and how to best promote the event.
