    The Festival Expert is where we share key ideas with other event planners so they can increase their economic impact in the marketplace. We designed this site to share insight with people that are involved in producing festivals and/or people that are considering putting on an outdoor summer event.

    My name is John Barry and I have been producing events in and around Chicago for over 15 years. I have produced a few hundred festivals in one of the most competitive markets around.

    Currently, Chicago plays host to over 500 neighborhood festivals and events. From Lallapalooza to the Taste of Chicago… this area is filled with World-Class Special Events.

    In this area, if you do not know how to compete… you will lose! I’ve seen events come and go during my career and most that don’t succeed – failed due to poor planning.

    My company, StarEvents, was founded in 1996 as a way to raise money and awareness for local-non-profit groups. To date, we have generated over $5,000,000 ‘hard-dollars for our clients. The economic impact for Chicago has been immeasurable… but would exceed 100 million dollars.

    StarEvents has spent over a decade creating systems that ultimately produces winning events. Our events are some of the best known community celebrations in the Midwest and continue to set the tone for all other local festivals.

    Our clients have found value in many of the systems we have implemented and have asked us to share these ideas with them. For this reason, we decided to create this site and share some simple concepts that can make a huge difference to YOU.

    We hope you enjoy the videos, manuals, examples, and other resources available within these pages. If you find value… please share your comments with us.

    We look forward to your participation

    Sincerley,

    John E. Barry / Founder
