TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — As a center for many community events, Downtown Terre Haute has released an online event planning resource for everyone to access.
With the city hosting many annual events for the community like Haunted Haute or Miracle on 7th Street and newer events like the Terre Haute Night Market or Team of Mercy’s Dog Days of Summer, a resource for the community to plan and anticipate these events would help continue the growth.
“The Downtown Terre Haute Festivals and Events Planning Resource is a tool we put together for anyone interested in hosting an event downtown,” said Josh Alsip, Director of Community Engagement for the Terre Haute Chamber of Commerce. “Every event helps bring our community together and we wanted to make hosting an event as easy as possible.”
Designed to help groups or individuals plan and carry out their events, the document includes a compilation of materials that will help people get started on their event planning like street closure instructions, links to permitting forms, media strategies, information about local vendors, and more.
“This project was close to a year in the making, but it is a living document,” said Alsip. “As more events use this, we will discover additional information that would be useful and we’ll adjust to include the most comprehensive instructions possible.”
Working to make event planning more accessible for the community, the planning resource offers a checklist for everything from lighting and sound systems to restroom facilities and food vendors. The Downtown Terre Haute Festivals and Events Planning Resource can be found here.
Those interested in learning more or providing suggestions for the document can contact Josh Alsip.
