What is least costly and most effective way for promotion?

Question by John K: What is least costly and most effective way for promotion?
Hi, I am throwing a random event it is going to have a taco truck, music, and cool visuals. What is the best way to promote something like this if I am not tackling a certain crowd but want just about every personality out there to come and join the party? Do I need to be specific about the event? should it be more mysterious? Should I make hard flyers? etc?
The event is more of a art installation, and wanted people to come and just take a look. There will be music and a cart that will be selling food. If you do not want to spend money you do not have to. The thing that I have to do is basically obtain their spare time, so i am just trying to figure out the best way to do this with spending a little or no money.

Yes. Tell people about all the fun stuff and sell the sizzle. You need to start networking it for at least a couple of weeks in advance and hand out lots of flyers about 5 to 7 days ahead with clear directions and time. Then you need to call people and remind them of the upcoming event. Be sure not to have the event on a day when some family holiday or other special observance could flop your party. Ask lots of people when a good time to have a party would be. Test the water and have it when lots of people seem to be ready for a party. Timing is very essential.
