COMM11007; Week Four: Practical

For the purposes of assignment two, the possible events I have decided to cover are the Hawthorne Twilight Markets and the Bulimba Festival.

Twilight Markets – The Hawthorne Twilight Markets now operate on the first and third Friday of every month. The event is set to run from 4pm to 8:30pm, with a variety of small market stalls of varying description. The Love Your Local Markets group are the driving force behind this particular event.

Bulimba Festival – The annual RSL Bulimba Festival will be held on Sunday, August 31st from 9am to 4pm. Now in it’s fourth year, the event will be held on Oxford Street, showcasing an expected 170 market stalls and a selection of local music and artists. Event organizers are expecting a crowd of thousands for what will be the biggest festival to date.

Neither of which event require media accreditation.

Both of the above events run under a similar format. Attendees are free to roam around and experience whatever stalls take their fancy at their own leisure, with live local music setting the tone.

From each event the aim will be to get direct quotes from those in attendance and stall operators.

Main points as discussed by Kate in the video:

• Time waits for no one, so be sure to plan your event.
• You may need media accreditation, take steps to gain this if the event calls for it.
• Research your event and be prepared to adapt.
