What is an Event?

An event can generally be described as a “pre-arranged gathering or activity for a common entertainment, leisure or competitive purpose”. The objectives of events may include offering the community a range of social, cultural and health benefits, and may also deliver economic benefits by way of encouraging tourist visitation and local spend.
Events range across a diverse spectrum, from sport, entertainment, environment and cultural experiences, to markets and community enjoyment activities. Events can be hosted in a private or public venue or an adapted public open space. Events can also be commercial ventures, fundraisers or free events open to the public.
