Festival Producers focus on planning event logistics, coordinating with vendors and performers, and overseeing marketing and ticket sales. You’ll handle budgeting, schedule management, and ensure compliance with regulations.

Festival Producers play an important role in delivering memorable experiences. You’ll need to be creative and organised, with strong project management and communication skills. You’ll liaise with artists, staff, and stakeholders to ensure all event components are executed smoothly, creating a seamless and engaging festival experience for attendees.
