    Irish Fair of Minnesota: Profile of Attendees 2014
    (University of Minnesota Tourism Center, 2014) Qian, Xinyi
    At the invitation of the Irish Fair of Minnesota, the University of Minnesota Tourism Center (UMTC) profiled its 2014 attendees. The purpose of the profile was to better understand attendee characteristics, to assist marketing decisions, to enhance the event itself, and to maximize benefits to the community. As such, several attendee characteristics were of interest, including demographics, information sources attendees used to learn of the Fair, most enjoyable attributes of the Fair, main reason to attend the Fair, expenditures related to the Fair, and modes of transportation. Additionally, 2014 profile results were compared to those of 2007 and 2011, where possible, to understand consistencies and changes in attendee characteristics.

    Profile of 2007 Irish Fair Attendees
    (University of Minnesota Tourism Center, 2007) Schuweiler, Andrea; Schneider, Ingrid E.
    Festivals and special events benefit both local communities and visitors. Community festivals of short duration contribute to the celebration of local culture, identity, and place. Festivals also enhance exposure, awareness, profitability and image of the host community, as well as serve as a vehicle for other development (Felenstein & Fleischer, 2003; Getz, 1991; Hall, 1992; Nicholson & Pearce, 2001). To maximize benefit and enhance events, organizers need to continually assess and evaluate their event and its market.
