What is your budget for this event:
Social or cultural benefits:
The Curl Bar is a Black and Woman owned business
looking to celebrate our fourth year anniversary by having
our annual Community Event. Our event will bring together
clients, family, friends, and the community of Somerville
and surrounding communities. We are looking to celebrate
with but not limited to; activities for kids such as a bouncy
house and even the local tattoo shop, Pearl Street Tattoo
has offered to do face paintings, local food trucks, and
vendors from small businesses throughout Somerville. We
will also have a Dj + other stations throughout the event.
Financial benefits:
Vendors will be able to sell, advertise, and promote their
business to the community in attendance. Along with this, I
will also be highlighting all the vendors via social media
and a brochure which will be passed through the
community of Somerville and surrounding communities'
prior to the event. Food trucks / local catering will also be
in benefit by exposing themselves to potential new clients
and selling their food.
