Culfest




Though in theory, cultural festivals can be organized by anybody, all established culfests are organized by High School s or colleges. In some Indian cities, the culfests of the local colleges are important community events. Some more of these festivals may even attract national participation.


FUNCTION


Culfests serve the following functions:
  • Promote a sense of cultural activity within an academic background.

  • Provide an environment to meet people.

  • Allow people to participate in various literary or cultural events, with a spirit of friendly competition.

  • Provide entertainment in the form of concerts and dances.

  • Generate revenue for the college.

  • Provide work experience for the student organizers.

  • Brand-building for the college.



GENERAL FORMAT


Most college culfests last from two to five days. The events in a culfest can be broadly classified into three sections:




By convention, there is no entry fee for watching any of the literary or cultural events. Participation in the events may or may not be free, depending on the policy of the individual college.

Culfests organized by High School s are of much shorter duration, two days at the longest. They also tend to be more restrictive than colleges in the events allowed.
