Mr. Mayor and Members of the City Commission:
My name is Morty Freedman and I'm here today to report to you on the
City of M.,nmi's 13th Annual International Festival which was held from
June 2 through June 10, 1984.
I am h<a.ppir to report; to you that the newly -reorganized International
Festival ;•ra.� n sma.shl_ng success and was a harmonious event enjoyUed by
all who att.endecz .
I'd like to read to you an unsoli_ci_ted letter from a Piro. James de Vallance
of Coral Gable.-,, i.;ho I do not know, which was published in the Miami
Herald on T -tine l 7th. The heading on the letter read: "Dinner Ivey
Festival Miam:]_ at its Finest." The text of the letter was as follows:
"To the editor:
Last weekend was one 'of the best weekends since we came to live
in Miami. Whoever thought up and organized the International Festi-
val at Dinner Key has done more for Miami than all the talk and
getting nowhere in a hurry at varous meetings.
People from many countries, now living in Miami, were there; it
really was a United Nations. It was great to see so many families
tasting each other's food, and enjoying each other's music and
dancing. The costum.es of the dancers were pretty, varied and colorful.
We learned quite a bit about each country reprf-opted. Everyone
was easy to get along witl: and tail. to, and lung~uage certainly
was no barrier. We came away rfeioicing that we are abele: to share
this great city of Miami witin so many wonderful people."
International Festival eport...... 2
The first event of the Festival was the City of Miami International
Ball held at the Biscayne Bay Marriott Hotel on Saturday night, June 2nd
with 450 persons attending. I know that, Ma.yor Ferre and Commissioner
J.L. Plummer, both of whom a.ttenc erl can n lia.t event.

Our ;hoc.,,, nA -t,he 1-,a11, "A , al_ti.t•e I.o Ainerica.Ii Music," was a tremendous
success and mnJiy- othn.i_c and. fiat, .onality groups bought their own tables
which were d.ee,_9_t-na.t:e(l. t it'1 t .l)le siSn. .
When the ma.i.ti po.rti_on of the Frr,:,ti.va.l_ was held at the Coconut Grove
Exhibition Genter iron, Thursdati , June 7th through Sunday, June loth,
there vere . 5 food liooth: representinf; the foods of 2_5 nations; 15
crafts booths representing 15 nations and 15 arts and crafts displays
representing more than 20 nations. The Iinternational Doll Show dis-
played more than 1,500 dolls representing more than 50 nations. There
was a good turnout for the Festival's 8th Annual International Dominoes
Tournament. The International Festival Parade through downtown Cocnut
Grove on Saturday, June 9th was just great with 16 units on hand to
represent 12 different nations.
Cash prizes for Festival events totaled more than $4,000 for such items
=j as best parade units, best decorated food and bazaar booths, best
arts and crat't winnings doll show entries and winners of
the domino totli'J11 Inc-11t.
Our continucuu entertainment program on two stages starred hundreds of
performers representing 26 different nations.

International Festival Report ...... 3
And now I'm happy to report to you on the financial aspects of the event.
You may recall the City Commission appropriated $34,000 in cash for the
1984 Festiva]. ns 110 has for the pi ev1.olis several- years. T-, a.lso ��a.nted

I'm happy to report, to Toll tll.`l.t we gencrate(l, income of :,;42 , 5/ 5 through
In ternation�l_ i3a.11 tickets, admission ti_ckfA,r,, and booth rentals.
And of the total expenditures of $88,215, including the in -kind audi-
orium grant, a. total of $26,251 was paid to city departments or off -duty
city employees.
Our operating budget, exclusive of the Executive Director's salary
had revenues of $88,215 and expenditures of $81,299, leaving a surplus
of $6,316 to return to the City.
Our attendance of about 6,000 was less than we had hoped for due
== to several factors: (1) j�'e had no funds available for advertising since
we had to spend so much on refurbishing the Festival with new signs,
new decorations, enlarged mailing lists, etc. (2) the only available
date we had for the Exhibition Center was in conflict with the Outboard
Regatta dates (3) Many people who attended the Festival during the
F
past three or four years dial not want to attend again because of being
disappointed in the event.
F
— a
We had marvlou-cooperation from the City administration and the
high liolit of our entertainment program was the martial arts demonstration
by City Manager Howard Gary, who broke a block of wood with a chop of
his hand.
International Festival Report........4
It is my s-Incere belief that we can increase our paid attendance at
least four -fold, incre.as-ing our revenue by $36,000. That would not
only pay for PJI_ execut-1 _v�- di.rnctorls salary,
to rel.ur-in �o the Giiy.
