Festival Fundamentals

by Kandi Russell

Local communities hold festivals for a variety of purposes.
They often include stands selling local products， performances， and workshops where visitors can try new things. For festivals to run smoothly， organizers usually follow the “SLA Festival Model”： Scheme， Location， and Assistance.
Scheme relates to how easy it is to arrange， co−ordinate， and hold the event within a specific time frame. Do you have enough time to plan and advertise your event？ Do the local sellers have enough time to prepare items that people will want to buy？ Is there time to arrange for workshops that visitors will be interested in？ We suggest allowing at least two months to organize your festival. During this time， you should arrange for sellers， performers， and people to give workshops.
Location relates to the actual place of the festival.
Some locations are far superior to others because they are accessible， visible， and large enough to accommodate all of the stands， workshop areas， and your visitors. Also， the festival organizer must check with local authorities as there are often regulations： trash disposal and recycling， areas for medical attention， and food handling and storage. Especially for health and safety， some local authorities require clear labels for people with food allergies.
Assistance relates to making sure there are enough people to help you prepare， organize， and run the event. Festivals can usually last all day and generally have lots of visitors， so things can get untidy. It is therefore very important to clean up properly afterward. This means having a large enough group of assistants is essential.
Nothing guarantees a successful festival， but it is vital to consider the scheme， the location， and the assistance required. The last secret ingredient for success is having a positive attitude！
