Points To Consider For A Successful 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.

Early planning should be done to ensure that everything is in place before the due date. There are a lot of details that may be regarded as small but could cause significant chaos on the day of the festival. For instance, one might think that inviting a guest to your event requires only a phone call. It, however, involves a process of invitation, negotiations, confirmation, and sometimes the guest might change their mind.

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.

A planned budget should guide each move that the organizers take. This means that the cost of everything concerning the whole entertainment has been accounted for. You will also be able to decide on the amount to charge for the show bearing in mind how much you have spent. It is important to note that charging too high might result in low turnout and hence lower profits.

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.

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.
