Abstract
This chapter explores how arts festivals act as a form of cultural infrastructure that transforms places through temporary yet powerful interventions. It highlights how festivals reshape public spaces by bringing together artists, audiences, and communities in shared experiences. The chapter emphasizes the role of embodiment, performance, and participation in redefining the identity of locations. It also considers the social and economic impacts, including tourism and local engagement. Overall, it shows that arts festivals can create lasting changes in how places are perceived, used, and valued.
