City Events PSA
Hello,
My wife and I are new to the area and have noticed a trend of missing information on event flyers. There's a certain level of assumed familiarity the area when it comes to events. For example, we did know that Lobster Fest was on Wednesday, but the ad I saw for it didn't say where or when. Didn't see any flyers for that one at all while walking around downtown.
We have seen flyers for the Garden Party, but the one's we've seen don't have a time listed. Chances are the thing will be happening when we head down to the Common, but there are no start and end times listed on the ad I have in front of me, and its the flyer from the actual Beverly400 website.
I am a retired musician with a lot of experience around event planning so it kind of blows my mind that I don't see all of these things on every event ad:
Who is throwing
What the event is
When (date AND time)
Where! Location and address
Why--unneccesary, but sometimes good for puling people in
How--possibly necessary: how to get tickets, park, directions, etc
Anyway, if you or someone who know is planning events around the city please take a moment to read and share this. I'd love to come to most of the municipal events, but I also don't want to have to chase down details to do so.
