In the National Endowment of the Arts report #51, “A National Study of Outdoor Arts Festivals” it is summarized that “Outdoor arts festivals contribute to local communities in several important ways. According to case study participants, the festivals bring people from suburbs and surrounding areas into central cities. Festivals provide a place where segments of the community who may not often spend time together can assemble every year.”
