Although its 2020 festival went virtual last year thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Stars & Stripes 20th Anniversary Celebration still took home three awards from the Texas Festivals & Events Association’s Kaliff Marketing Awards.
Presenting awards on marketing and promotional excellence, the Kaliff Marketing Awards recognized events held between June 1, 2019, and May 31, 2020. That qualified Stars and Stripes’ 20th anniversary for consideration since it took place on July 3, 2019.
“The goal for festivals and events is to create memorable experiences and signature destination events that are unrivaled in their entertainment value, as well as all the other elements associated with such programs,” TFEA executive director Kay Wolf says in MySouthlakeNews.com.
According to MySouthlakeNews.com, Southlake won first place in Best Miscellaneous On-Site Decor for the city’s red, white and blue photo booth display at the celebration. The city also won third place for Best Event Video Promotion and Best Giveaway for its 20th-anniversary chair.
“It is our goal to create memorable experiences for our city, its residents and visitors alike,” economic development director Daniel Cortez says in MySouthlakeNews.com. “We can bring forth these exemplary events like our signature Stars and Stripes because of our community support. We can’t thank our sponsors enough for seeing and believing in our vision for events and joining us in our efforts to help create those memories.”
