However keen you are it is highly unlikely that you can organise a festival on your own - you will need a group to support you. Groups often form around the desire to run a festival or event with an idea of a specific celebration theme, art form or a community interest in mind. 

There is information on this section about forming and managing Committees, as well as recruiting, retaining and managing volunteers and staff.

Information on this section has been gathered from the following websites, so visit them for further information:
