35. The Social & Cultural Value of Festivals ‘ Positive legacies of festivals and evens in destinations include the establishment or the strengthening of traditions and values held by residents. Much is written on the growth in pride and spirit when communities host successful events… This combined with the adoption of new social patterns and exposure to new cultural forms can stimulate an increase in volunteerism, community involvement and intercultural interaction and cooperation’ (Yeoman et al. 2004).

49. Location Size is everything when talking about festivals, and a 3 day festival will be a huge event for the Newcastle community, probably one of the biggest it has seen. Multiple locations can be used for the event to make it a city wide festival, and therefore including man more groups and communities. The main event, the concert night, will need a large space, and a stage, so there are a few suitable locations available in the Newcastle area.
50. Probably the best facilities available for a big event is the Newcastle entertainment centre and showgrounds. There is a huge space for many events, and the entertainment centre is fully enclosed and weatherproof. There are excellent facilities and close by public transport. Some issues though are the size. It is very large and might be too large for what it is needed for. Also, it could be very expensive to book, to due its high desirability, and will most likely be booked during peak seasons and on weekends for farmers markets.

51. Wickham Park Another possible location could be Wickham park. Used before for the Fat as Butter music festival, it is closer to the CBD than the entertainment centre, and smaller as well. It is a very versatile piece of land where multiple stages and stalls and other facilities could be set up to accommodate the festival. Some negatives include the local residents, who protested against the Fat as Butter festival when it moved here, and may do the same again for this festival. Another is the lack of facilities. When compared to the entertainment centre this location is fairly lacking.
52. Harbour-front and Park Area For the smaller events, this area could be idea. There are numerous park areas where small stages and stalls could be set up, and this area is very close to the CBD, and gets a lot of pedestrian traffic and could easily attract many people. Some negatives include the heavy pedestrian traffic, and the proximity to the harbour. These factors could hamper approval for the use of the site, and also hamper setup of the area.
53. Honeysuckle Honeysuckle could be a perfect location for the smaller events also. In the heart of the CBD, there are many old railway houses that have been converted for social events. These large covered areas, which are right next to the harbour and a restaurant district, could be perfect in attracting people, and would also suit our needs with plentiful facilities and very close proximity to train stations and other public transport facilities. Some negatives could be the popularity of the location, making it difficult to book, and also the enclosed spaces could make the event more crowded and less easily accessible.
