在世界范围内，文化节的数量和种类急剧增加。许多地区将节日视为吸引游客及其消费的重要方式，从而产生积极的经济影响。虽然艺术节为艺术制作人和观众提供了重要的机会，但艺术节组织者面临着越来越大的压力，要求他们在经济影响之外展示自己对社会的价值。与许多国家一样，南非非常重视增加多元化的文化参与，展示接受公共资金的活动的社会和非市场价值。本文使用两个南非节日的数据，使用南非文化观察所开发的评估框架，以展示观众多样性的措施，使用生活质量的措施来衡量文化对福祉的影响，并使用社区焦点小组来评估参与对社会凝聚力和能力建设的影响。
Worldwide, the number and variety of cultural festivals have grown dramatically. Many areas see festivals as an important way to attract tourists, and their spending, to a region, resulting in a positive economic impact. While they offer important opportunities for artistic producers and audiences, there is growing pressure for festival organizers to demonstrate their value to society beyond their economic impact. Like many countries, South Africa has a strong focus on increasing diverse cultural participation, demonstrating the social, nonmarket values of events that receive public funding. Using data from two South African festivals, the article uses a valuation framework developed by the South African Cultural Observatory to demonstrate measures of audience diversity, the use of quality of life measures to gauge the impact of culture on well-being, and the use of community focus groups to assess the impact of participation on social cohesion and capacity building.
