Marketing Project Firefly Music Festival MBA 7600 – Professor Bob Haddock Submitted by: Melissa Forte & John Houck Executive Summary Firefly Music Festival is a weekend long concert that begins its second year after an extremely successful event in 2012. In 2012, Firefly broke grounds in Dover, Delaware to offer guests, both near and far, an opportunity to enjoy mainstream and independent music performances. In 2013, Firefly will become the premier music festival of the year. With the ability to take advantage of a large rural-like area with close proximity to arterial roads, Firefly is able to provide a Woodstock feel with a central location on the east coast.

The hippie legacy can be observed in contemporary culture in myriad forms — from health food, to music festivals, to contemporary sexual mores, and even to the cyberspace revolution.

On March 26, Lou Reed, Edie Sedgwick and 10,000 hippies came together in Manhattan for the Central Park Be-In on Easter Sunday. The Monterey Pop Festival from June 16 to June 18 introduced the rock music of the counterculture to a wide audience and marked the start of the "Summer of Love. "[46] Scott McKenzie's rendition of John Phillips' song, "San Francisco", became a hit in the United States and Europe.
To prove this point I decided to compare two events: reality TV star Kim Kardashian’s 72-day marriage (“fark”) and the first of the three recent presidential debates between Governor Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama (prevalent “news.”) I asked 25 people of both sexes in grades 11 and 12, ages 16 to 18, questions relating to both events to see which topic the majority of teenagers are more interested in.
