Definition of Terms - Event, Special Event, and Festival - ECONOMIC POINT OF VIEW part 3
The definitions of Event, Special Event, and Festival might be confusing without accurate definitions of them. The problem is how can we classify these terms by using some kind of a measure. There are many definitions of Event, Special Event, and Festival among different researchers.
However, there is an eternal conception. An event includes a special event, mega-event, and festival within itself.
Special event is a kind of an event, mega-event is a kind of an event, and festival is also a kind of an event. That is to say that a festival could be a festival itself and simultaneously, a festival could be an event in an inclusive conception.
There are researches which mention the relationship among them: festival is an important component of events; festival can be (and often are) mega-events; festival is a component of mega-events; mega-event is essentially a festival focused around a specific theme; a festival can be a special event, but not all special events are festivals.
