2009 SURVEY Results!
In 2008, the South Carolina Festivals and Events
Association (SCFEA) & the North Carolina Association of Festivals and Events (NCAFE) parntered with the College of Charleston
and NC State University to begin studying the type and scope of festivals and events across the Carolinas. The
survey provides important information and
identifies trends for the growing festival industry. Both
SCFEA & NCAFE recognize the importance of festivals and events to our communities, and hope these
study results assist
us to better understand our diversity, industry issues, and logistics.
Special THANKS to Dr. Wayne Smith and Dr. Andrea Canberg from the College of Charleston's Dept. of
Hospitality & Tourism Management and Dr. Stacy Tomas and Dr. Samantha Rozier from the NC State University's Dept. of Parks,
Recreation & Tourism Management. This survey would not have been possible without their assistance.
Special THANKS also goes to EC Publishing/Carolina Festivals Newspaper, and SCPRT
for assisting in the notification of the survey.
