Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We will attract 5,000 or more visitors; showcase local talent with sixty or more culturally diverse performing and/or instructional artists; and better know our audience members through random interviews to survey where our guests come from as we celebrate heritage, homeland, and community with an exceptional shared cultural arts experience. International Festival of Burnsville (IFB) compares totals 1) as police officers continuously tally crowd size; 2) and with a post-IFB count of food/activity ticket sales. IFB planners’ study 3) crowd responsiveness; 4) how congested is the gallery with fest-goers; and particularly the feedback/comments/suggestions offered 5) online at Facebook, IFB's website, or 6) on program tear-off surveys, and 7) with interviews/survey info obtained by volunteers as they stroll the festival.

Measurable Outcome(s)

QUANTITATIVE - Via QR Code surveys: 94% of attendees love festival; 97% return next year. 88% learned something new about a culture different from their own. QUALITATIVE - "Great opportunity to bring our commmunity together!" // "Native American hoop dancer my favorite, and taught us about his culture and philosophy with every song." // "This festival brings such postive energy to our community."
