A research team for the annual Peter
Anderson Arts Festival that takes place in Ocean Springs, Mississippi recently
completed their second economic impact study to measure the positive influences
the event has on the local economy. The
first economic impact study of the event, conducted in 2010, revealed that the
annual festival grossed $13 million in a town of 18,000 people.
The local economies of many towns depend on
the revenue, employment and income that festivals and events bring to the
community. The Peter Anderson Arts
Festival happens on a very large scale in a larger town, but check out the article at the above link to learn
more about the local tourism strategies and the economic impacts that events
and festivals can have on the local economy.
On another note, the Ned Smith Nature and Arts Festival is coming up in Millersburg on July 28th!
