Abstract
Winona has had many local events and festivals. They can secure better sponsorship and support from the local community when they generate positive impacts on the community. However, how they have contributed to the Winona community has not been investigated. Collaborating with Frozen River Film Festival, RTTR370 – Festival and special event planning class will conduct research investigating the impacts of local events/festivals on Winona as a class project. A survey including a series of questions regarding residents' perceived impacts of events/festivals on Winona and event/festival visitors' consumption behaviors was developed to collect data. The survey will be distributed in early April 2024. Adults who have attended events/festivals in Winona can participate in the survey. The data will be analyzed statistically. The research will reveal the economic, social, and environmental impacts of local events/festivals on Winona. The result of this research is expected to contribute to Winona's tourism, hospitality, and community development.
