Seven things a community must do to become a Festival City | Better! Cities & Towns Online

As we are coming up to ReggaeFest this weekend, and in light of other festivals we have here, are we considered a "festival city?"  According to this article, click title for link, a city has to have "200 event days" per year.  For example, the Street Painting Festival would be considered one event with three event days.  You can include parades, Gay Pride, etc.  Do we meet that standard?  The point is that to be known as a "festival city," you need to have something going on so people know that they can go there and something would likely be going on that weekend.  Whatever festival it is, you also have to ask the question if it is worth someone driving from at least 50 miles away.  Something to think about.
