In October of 2015, an idea to create a multicultural festival began when two business men and one City Councilman of East Point, Georgia toke a walking tour through the East Point Commons; a green space set for future development.
Basically, the concept was to draw more attention to this particular City and its diverse Cultures living in North Georgia. The special event would consist of a three day Family Occurrence located in downtown East Point, Georgia on Labor Day weekend.
The function would be design to help draw attention to local restaurants, stores, beauty parlors, barber shops and civic organizations. Furthermore, it would introduce 'Live' Music, Food, Arts and Merchandise for sale in the East Point Commons, as well as, the Buggy Works areas.
The entry to this festival would be free of charge, but for certain performances on any of the three stages in existence, may require an admission fee.
Several companies got together and eventually pitch this idea to 'East Point Business and Industrial Development Authority', as well as, private land owners who all own a large portion of the East Point Commons.
The simple concept is a WIN-WIN scenario for all involved, if properly implemented.
Why? Well, it would re-introduce the City of East Point, Georgia to the World. It would drive people and commerce into the area while broadening the minds of individuals about various cultures.
It is one thing to dream up an idea and it is quite another thing to make it a reality.
In doing so, planning properly is a big key. But, a plan without actions, checks, balances and a continual flow will not likely work well.
Thus, ISO 20121 or sustainable events planning - business model, became the International Standard for the development of this festival.
