The city of Leavenworth may start up a new community festival. And the recommended name of the festival is Camp Leavenworth.
Keli O’Neill Wenzel, president and CEO of O’Neill Events and Marketing, visited Tuesday with the Leavenworth City Commission regarding her firm’s recommendations for a new festival.
The city hired the firm to do event research in preparation for a possible city-sponsored festival.
Wenzel said the theme of the festival would celebrate the city’s sense of freedom and adventure. It also would pay tribute to the community’s ties to the military.
“It plays to who you are with the military tie-in,” she said.
Wenzel said the festival also would be unique for the area. Her company’s research indicates the region does not have a camp festival or a festival with an outdoor theme.
