Banana Festival at the Port of Hueneme

If you eat a banana in the western half of the United States, it probably came through the Port of Hueneme! The Port created a fun twist to this community outreach event by naming it the Banana Festival, but what it is truly celebrating is the diversity of the Port and the prosperity the Port and its customers bring to the region. The community loves this free event, enjoying food, music, arts & crafts, Port tours, kid’s activities, and more, with over 12,000 guests in attendance in 2014.

Searle Creative is honored to have served the Port as Banana Festival event manager since 2013, handling everything from strategic planning, sponsorship, budgeting, media relations, marketing collateral, website development, social media, logistics, volunteer management and contest planning.
