Exploring Community Festivals and Events

This book for the first time, explores the role and importance of 'community', 'culture' and its impact through festivals and events. By doing so the book explores local traditions, culture, and how community festivals and events can act as a catalyst for tourism and create a sense of community, and offers further insight into the role of diaspora, imagined communities, pride and identity, history, producing and consuming space and place, authenticity and multi-ethnic communities.
