Festival Case Study: Atlanta Science Festival
Annually since 2016, Guerilla Haiku has partnered with the Atlanta Science Festival to bring the art (and science) of Sci-ku to their Science Expo festival-goers. With attendance of over 20,000 people in one day, Guerilla Haiku and their local volunteer Agents of Haiku gather over 600 haiku from participants reflecting on and celebrating all things science. Take a look!
Across from the Welcome booth to the Festival, we start with an invitational:

Thank you for bringing your unadulterated joy to Atlanta's biggest science party last Saturday. I truly appreciate the sciencey love Guerilla Haiku spreads at our event - it breathes so much life into the atmosphere. I can't imagine an Atlanta Science Festival Expo without you.
