Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Event logistics plays a pivotal role in ensuring the success of cultural festivals, encompassing all aspects of planning, transportation, resource allocation, and on-site execution. In Zaria Local Government Area, Kaduna State, cultural festivals such as the Durbar and annual community celebrations are significant socio-cultural events that draw local and international attention. These festivals serve as platforms for promoting cultural heritage, fostering tourism, and strengthening community identity. However, their success largely hinges on effective logistical planning, including venue preparation, crowd control, vendor coordination, and resource management (Usman & Ahmed, 2023; Hassan et al., 2024). Poor logistics can lead to disorganization, safety concerns, and reduced attendee satisfaction, undermining the festivals’ intended impact. This study investigates the influence of logistics on the overall success of cultural festivals in Zaria LGA, examining both successes and challenges in logistical planning and execution.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite the cultural significance of festivals in Zaria LGA, logistical challenges often hinder their overall success. Issues such as inadequate transportation systems, insufficient security measures, and poor vendor coordination disrupt the smooth flow of events. Furthermore, limited funding and lack of skilled personnel exacerbate these challenges, diminishing the quality of the experience for participants and attendees. Without addressing these issues, the potential of cultural festivals to promote cultural heritage and economic development remains underutilized. This study addresses these concerns by examining the impact of logistics on cultural festival success and identifying strategies for improvement.
