Festivals Committee
This committee meets at 8:00 a.m. in the North Conference Room of the Eau Claire City Hall on the second and fourth Wednesday of the month. For specific information on upcoming meetings, please contact us.
Goal: Showcase Downtown Eau Claire during our one-day annual festivals.
Tasks:
- Plan and promote Summerfest (2nd Saturday in August)
- Plan and promote International Fall Festival (3rd Saturday in September)
- Plan and promote Christmastime in the City (1st Saturday in December)
Committee Mission
The Festival’s Committee’s main goal is to successfully plan, organize, and implement three major festivals downtown each year. These three festivals bring over 30,000 people to downtown, increasing foot traffic for the downtown merchants and exposing the Chippewa Valley and regional visitors to what our downtown has to offer. Many who come to enjoy a festival return again and again to experience other parts of downtown.
Committee Successes
Since 2008, the Festivals Committee has worked hard to improve the logistics, atmosphere, and activities offered. With these improvements, each major festival has seen a dramatic increase in attendance and has been more successful for DECI as a whole. 2010 will bring several new changes to Summerfest with the addition of the American Strongman Competition and several other new activities.
