This final paper deals with the topic of creating event concepts and their organization in tourism, with a focus on the practical example of the organization of the Harbin Ice Festival in China. In today's modern era, events have become a key element of the tourist offer of cities, and they are increasingly important for the recognition of these cities as important tourist destinations. In the context of event organization, the local community plays an important role as one of the stakeholders who can contribute to the event organization in different ways. The goal of this paper was to get to know the management of events through the analysis of the Harbin Ice Festival, and to investigate how such events affect the community in which they are held. The effects of such events on the local community have a key impact on their long-term sustainability. Cooperation with all stakeholders, including the local community, becomes crucial in creating the conditions necessary for the long-term success of the event, which is the ultimate goal of every organizer. The Harbin Ice Festival in China is an example of a successfully organized event that has a positive impact on the development of the city itself. This example explores how this event can be used as a catalyst for economic and tourism development. Its positive impact on the local community is visible through the increase in tourist revenues, the development of infrastructure and the encouragement of local entrepreneurship. Among other things, this paper points to the importance of events in the tourism sector, and emphasizes the need for successful organization and cooperation with all stakeholders, especially the local community, in order to achieve long-term positive effects on community development and achieve the sustainability of the events themselves.
