The document compares four different types of festivals: a local music/arts festival, a national flower competition festival, an international film festival, and a religious holiday festival. They vary in their artistic policies, target audiences, funding sources, and programming content. For example, the local festival encourages performance and study of the arts for all ages, while the film festival celebrates cinematic success but is only open to celebrities and fans. Funding also differs, from registered charities and volunteers to a company and individual family spending. Overall, the festivals each have distinct purposes whether celebrating religious events or providing artistic enjoyment.
