An International Workshop about cultural Festivals is going to be held on November 26th, 2019 at the University of Valencia, Spain. The main scope of the meeting is to share common and/or different ideas and perspectives among researchers with expertise in cultural events.
The aim of this International Workshop and the subsequent Special Issue is precisely to investigate the actual context of Festivals’ structure, organization and management, also considering the actual challenges of the digital age. Cross comparisons between Festivals taking place in different countries will be welcome. They are expected to consider the place, the structural organization and the impact of some selected Festivals organized in small or large cities
