How to Plan a Festival in Tunisia


Step 1: Define Your Concept and Budget
Start with a clear concept. What kind of festival are you planning? A jazz night, a food market, or a multi-day music marathon? Clarifying your theme helps shape every other decision.
Next, establish a realistic budget. List all major expenses:
Artist fees
Stage and sound setup
Security and cleaning
Marketing and digital tools
Staff wages
Permits and insurance
Also forecast your income:
Ticket sales (use multiple tiers)
Sponsorship deals
Merchandise
Vendor contributions
Make sure your financial plan includes at least a 10–15% buffer for unforeseen costs.
Step 2: Secure Your Location and Permits
Tunisia offers amazing venues, from coastal towns to heritage sites. Choose one that matches your vibe and can accommodate your audience safely.
Make a checklist:
Secure municipal or prefectural approval
Get permits for public gatherings
Apply for Ministry of Culture approval if foreign artists are involved
Confirm sound restrictions or curfews
Purchase liability insurance
Skimping on legal compliance can lead to last-minute shutdowns—so plan well in advance.
Step 3: Schedule and Logistics
Avoid scheduling your festival during religious holidays, national events, or school exams unless they’re part of the theme.
Arrange:
Parking and transport
Accommodation for artists
Water and first-aid points
Waste management services
If your event is in a remote location, consider arranging shuttle services or temporary facilities.
Step 4: Ticketing & Promotion
Set ticket tiers:
Early bird
General admission
VIP access
Group or family packages
Use a platform like Bip.Events to manage:
Online sales
Seat maps (if needed)
Payments and refunds
Promo codes
Entry scanning
Promote on social media, through email newsletters, and in collaboration with local influencers, businesses and media.
Step 5: On-Site Coordination
Plan for smooth entry:
Multiple gates
Separate check-in lists
Printed signs and trained staff
Brief all teams beforehand and provide a clear schedule of the day. Ensure that security, access control, stage crew, and medical personnel are aligned. Prepare for contingencies like rain or power cuts.
With the right mix of creativity, compliance, and tools like Bip.Events, your Tunisian festival can become a landmark event.
