Background:

The Carnival of Ivrea started in the 12th century between Napoleonic and Medieval periods. The festival marks the killing of the local tyrant Conte Ranieri di Biandrate by Violetta, who was the daughter of the local Miller, and hence the end of the town's oppression. The festival is celebrated with the throwing of oranges on knights on carts. This tradition also includes a free distribution of beans around the town as beans are considered a major source of food so distributed to poor. This festival was also celebrated to mark the end of French colony in Italy.

We choose Florida as the place for the events for two reasons. The first is to align with

Emancipation Day in Florida, and remind everyone of the end of oppression through slavery. Another major reason we chose Florida is that Florida is one of the largest producers and exporters of oranges in the country. The event location was also chosen due to the pleasant weather and to attract people from various cultures and possibly even countries as Florida is a popular tourist destination. The specific park was chosen due to its park availability and space for the event.

The celebration in Florida will educate people about this festival, and will also celebrate the end of COVID. We will have these knights dressed in COVID virus costumes and people can throw oranges at these people. The event will be a 1-day event with a couple rounds of war to celebrate orange throwing. Since this festival will use oranges, there are risks with human safety, and thus we will be providing additional gear if needed at the event site. We also recommend that wear or carry non-slippery shoes for the main event. There will also be provisions for kids, as well as food and drinks for people to chill and enjoy the day. There will also be a skit/ play, and a band performance at the start and end of the day respectively. The play will tell a small story of the historical events to the people about the festival.

The project will partner with One World, One Community, and will look for sponsorship from Culture Builds Florida, and Visit Tallahassee. We will also partner with local food (like Sonny’s BBQ) and drink joints to promote the event and attract customers.

Business Case:

The Ivrea Carnival will be an orange throwing event that celebrates Italian history of freedom from tyrants and oppression, and celebrates the end of COVID for the people of Florida. The event will take place at Elinor Klapp-Phipps Park in Tallahassee, Florida on June 18th, 2022. The primary event of throwing oranges is targeted for age groups 16 to 50, but the carnival will have events for the whole family to enjoy including a kids play area, and food and drinks. The event will be held from 10 AM to 6 PM with an expected attendees of 5000 people. The event will cost $125,000 with majority of the investment coming from sponsors, ticket sales, and One World, One Community. The costs include planning, designing, marketing, staff, inventory management, cleaning charges, and event location reservation.

Team Operating Principles:

1. Event team members should follow up on previous meeting agenda and event updates. 

2. Every week, all event team members should meet for an hour. 

3. If event members have any issues, please ask for help from others. 

4. The event team members are responsible to set their own deadlines. 

5. Backup plans should be created for foods and drinks in case of drop out.

6. The event organizer should be responsible for collecting point-to-point updates from team members and gathering information for the next meeting. 

7. Decisions are made by only team leaders on any issues and also the final decision is taken by the event organizer.

Risk Response Strategy

Unable to conduct the planned event at the location 

If we are not able to conduct the event at the location due to unforeseen weather or unavailability, we will run into a risk of the event not happening. This will impact the event overall which might also cause delays in conducting the event or event cancellation. 

Event Location Reservation

15

To mitigate this risk, we will co-ordinate with the State of Florida 3 months ahead of event to identify potential alternative location targets like public parks, stadiums etc. that are available around the event planned time which could facilitate us and alternate dates .

Advertisements not reaching targeted audiences 

If the targeted group of people don’t get the advertisement, we might not get the perceived number of audiences to participate in the event, which will cause an event failure.  

Advertising & Fundraising 

4

16

We will partner with multiple advertising streams such as YouTube, Google ads, Facebook ads etc to promote the event well ahead of time online and create awareness of why this event is happening so we can attract people to participate in the event. We will also be in contact with representatives from different news channels that could promote the event on their websites as well.  

Construction Company Backing off 

If at the last minute the construction company backs off, we won't have the necessary tents, booths and stalls which will have an impact on the event being called or postponed  

Installation of structures including booths, stalls, stages

To mitigate this risk, we will speak with multiple construction companies and have an alternative in hand if so this situation arises. 

Failure of equipment 

If there is an electrical failure due to a generator issue or any other equipment like a mike etc not working properly we might have delays in starting the event. 

Setting up event space 

2

5

10

To mitigate this risk, we will have a second backup generator and also test the equipment before the event starts to make sure everything looks good. 

People not disposing trash in the designated areas 

If people attending the event don’t dispose of the oranges and trash in designated areas, others with citrus allergies that might use the event location after may have health issues which in turn cause legal issues after. 

Cleaning up event space 

10 

We will provide all the necessary instructions to the people attending the event and place different signs in all the areas that are intended for trash. Cleaning crew will cover cleaning up to a certain extent in the park as well.

Video equipment getting damaged 

If there is an accident where the videographer slips and damages his video camera shooting the event as the surface might be slippery due to orange peels and juices, we run into a risk of not getting the necessary footage. 

Event summary video 

The videography company we are hiring will be sending multiple videographers with different cameras (one main camera and multiple lenses per videographer). They can exchange their equipment and continue shooting. We can also ask the audience to provide video footage of the event so we can compile it.
