I'm helping organize a neighborhood street festival for the first time, and while we have a permit and some vendor interest, I'm worried about the logistics of managing foot traffic, waste, and volunteer coordination on the actual day. For others who have run similar community events, what were the most unexpected challenges you faced during execution, and what solutions worked best? How did you handle safety and accessibility, secure enough volunteers for setup and teardown, and promote the event effectively to ensure good turnout without overwhelming the space?
