This document provides guidance on using Pinterest for festivals and events. It discusses using Pinterest to create boards related to a festival, how to pin images from Pinterest or the web to those boards, and tips for planning boards and naming them in a way that makes them easy to find in searches. Pinterest allows users to virtually pin interesting images to different topic boards and provides a way to share content from festivals online.
