Feb. 9, 2010 - PRLog -- "America needs a national music festival program for many reasons," says longtime promoter and publisher Hal Abramson pointing out that "Canada and most European countries have established festivals that draw millions of tourists each year."

"Although tourism has increased in other parts of the world it's down in the U.S," Abramson continued. "festivals bring people together" Hal said. "We need a program that offers funding and guidance to promoters, as an investment, not as a grant". Both state and the Federal Government should see the long range advantages to a structured festival program. It's added employment, taxes, tourism, serious local economic impact and bringing people together, who otherwise would be in their homes and apartments."

Hal has communicated with hundreds of concert and music festival promoters throughout the world who seek his advice about concerts and festivals in their communities. Hal coined the term (make an annuity for your community), "and you'll have a weekend every year to look forward to, watch it grow and prosper financially, socially and spiritually from."

Hal also said "when planning a festival, instead of being in fear of involving the community, engage as many organizations and non-profits as possible. They'll contribute staff, PR and equipment and personnel resources, making it easier and less expensive to organize vendors, traffic and parking control, hospitality, drivers and administrative ans street team assistance". "You'll need a volunteer coordinator and it's a little different than working with a fully paid staff, but once tried and experienced, you'll believe infusing these groups is a major asset to your event, not a liability or a problem. "

"Unity in diversity is a re-occurring  American theme but our nation seems to be polarized "
"If you want to see how a "Unite" event can be spoiled by greedy, using type people, read the posting at www.uniteconcerts.com, a story that destroyed Hal's dream to bring people together in Tennessee through his concept, Unite ChristianMegaFest. It turned out to be anything but a Christian effort as abhorant forces undermined his dream. Now these horrible people are getting sued. Unfortunately, there's only justice if you can pay for it." Hal said.

Hal also continued, "Though the unity approach is the purpose of any large event, we live in a society filled with deceit and material based thinkers. The world is just not an honest place to do business, but we're stuck with it, so you need to have proper legal support and resources which is expensive". "The modern music festival costs between $300,000. and $4,000,000.. so money is the primary promoting tool, but humility and love is just as important".

Scholarly studies have revealed music to be a universal language with the power to heal, revive the spirit, expand learning. Hal ended with "If you have a burning desire to promote events, no matter what the fall backs and negative experiences along the way, it is all to fuel your end goal, and it may take many years to finally stand back stage and see that sea of humanity that you brought together".
