Heritage festival timeline for 5,000 guests

A day-of timeline for a 5,000-guest heritage festival with food stations, a main stage and cultural performances. Open it in the timeline tool to change anything.

A heritage festival runs like a small fair: gates, food stations, vendor booths and a main stage with performances through the evening.

What to plan for

  • Plan about 50 food stations and spread them out to avoid crowding.
  • Map out booths, stage, restrooms, first aid and exits on the floor plan before you book vendors.
  • Open one check-in lane for about every 250 guests, and post table maps at every entrance. Find my seat lets guests look up their table on their phone.
  • Plan parking, shuttles, security and first aid with the venue early. Big crowds arrive in waves.
