✨ What Inspired Me

While planning a trip, I realized how difficult it was to find local festivals and cultural events. Event information was scattered across different websites, many of which were outdated or lacked proper details.
This experience inspired me to create Festifly — a single source that tourists and locals could rely on to explore and attend events effortlessly.

I wanted to combine modern UI with intelligent tools and live data, to help people truly enjoy and plan for these vibrant experiences without the usual hassle.

🛠️ How I Built It

Frontend:
Built using Bolt.new with React + Vite, the UI is highly responsive and includes visually appealing, interactive cards for calendar previews, maps, reviews, and event actions.
Backend:
Developed using Django, which handles API routes, user sessions, and backend logic for managing scraped event data and AI features.
Data Collection:
Implemented using Python with BeautifulSoup and Scrapy for robust and dynamic web scraping to collect festival and event data from public sources.
AI Integration:
- 🗣️ Voice Assistant powered by ElevenLabs for natural and responsive voice interactions
- 🧠 AI Preview Generator for automatic summaries and vibe tagging
- 🏷️ Smart Tagging System to classify festivals by theme (Music, Culture, etc.)
Other Features:
- 🗓️ Calendar Integration – Easily add events to personal calendars
- 🌤️ Live Weather Info – Based on the event’s location and month
- 🏨 Accommodation Suggestions – Book nearby hotels or camping spots
- 🎟️ Ticket Alerts – Early booking prompts for better pricing
Multimedia Support:
- 🎥 Video Previews generated using Tavus for personalized visual storytelling
- 🎧 Voice Narration using ElevenLabs for accessibility and user interaction

🚧 Challenges I Faced

Unstructured Data:
Event information across websites varied greatly in format, making consistent scraping and parsing difficult.
Geo-Mapping Locations:
Ensuring accurate mapping between event locations and real-time data like weather or accommodation.
Voice Assistant Tuning:
Designing natural and helpful interactions with ElevenLabs voices
Reddit Sentiment Parsing:
Summarizing reviews and comments without overwhelming users
