Factors To Consider When Planning An Enlightenment Festival

By Susan Wood


After a long and hard week at work, people like spending some time off to relax especially when they have free time. Coming up with a successful enlightenment festival that will satisfy both the audience and the organizers is not an easy task. The following points can be considered by the planners to make it a success.

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.

Many are times people have failed to attend a festival because of being broke. Setting a date when money is flowing into the economy is a clever move. Also, consider how busy the people are likely to be before setting a date. Something organized for the weekend is likely to be attended by more people than one on a weekday when people are more concerned about their work schedules.

For an event to be successful, it has to be carefully organized for a substantial period. Event planning is not an easy task ask the organizers have to take time to assess all the factors involved. Various state requirements need to be taken care of, the guests in the event need to be contacted long before the due date too and confirm their presence.

The safety of the people should be guaranteed. Organize with the police on how they are going to help you to beef up the security in that place. Private security firms can also help in case you do not have enough funds to hire administration police officers. If the audience fee that their safety was not well taken care of, they might not show up in your future events.

Every event works under a planned budget. The organizers should plan on how much they want to spend on the celebration. Setting up a realistic budget reduces inconveniences on the day of the event, among the things to consider is the people that will perform and how much they charge. This will later help you determine how much you are going to cost your audience, which should also be realistic.

Your target group should be considered too. An event for old people will not have the same features and guests with that of the youth or children. It will also help you decide on the schedule for the event. Young adults will prefer an all-night party while couples with families will want to get home before nightfall. It is hence necessary to put the tastes and preferences of your target group into consideration.

Finally, after you have put everything in place you need a strategy to make people aware of your upcoming show. If people do not get to know about it then you are in for the disappointment. Use the social media as it will cost you nothing compared to other medias that charge a lot of money for a small advertisement.
