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.

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.

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.

Be aware of your target group. The people you are planning to attract for your show will influence a lot of decisions made. These people are mainly categorized according to their ages. Young children, teens, the youth and even the much older generations all have different tastes. Their schedules are different too hence it is good to know which group you are targeting to plan well.

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.
