Measures For Planning An Enlightenment Festival

By Susan Wood


Leisure time can be used in different ways. Most people use it to relax after a hard day or week, and attending a festival is one way to do so. The joy of an event organizer is to see a happy crowd that is satisfied with all the efforts he has put in place to make the day a success. The following should be considered when planning an enlightenment festival.

Coming up with a strategic location is an important way to ensure that your event becomes a success. Rural places are very sparsely populated and planning something there can bear little or no fruits at all. However urban centers can be congested, and people may fail to make it. The best place will be therefore in the outskirts of the urban areas. These places are highly populated and accessible too.

Setting a convenient date requires you to look at many factors. An event planned on a weekday may not be successful since people are tired from work and they will be required to report to work the following morning. Making one on a mid-month is risky too. Most people have not received their dues, and the little money they have is put into better priorities.

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.

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.

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.
