Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

TC Carifest plans to involve 75-80 performing artists and 175 to 200 costumed dancers in the event. There is a good number of repeat attendees, Carifest will strive for a 10% of new attendees. We will attempt to garner this by an entrance survey question. Carifest will do head count of attendees and performers/costumed dancers. Newcomers count at entrances will be tallied. Attendee’s survey will be done to provide feedback. Crowd photo records will be evaluated to garner the attendance, appreciation and involvement of specific performances.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We managed to attract over 200 participants and the largest crowd per date (over 6000) based on wristbands distribution, but the number was many hundreds more, not including the hundreds of performers, workers associated with vendors and exhibitors. The beautiful weather brought out many new attendees, many who discovered the festival the same week.
