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.
