Put out a flyer asking if people are interested and if so:
> Are they interested/willing to help organize
> Are they willing to help set up/ clean up
> How many adults/kids
> How many tables/chairs/rainshelters/big outdoor TV screens could they provide
What I'm trying to say is if you're sending round a checkbox flyer about interest, ask the other basic info you will need to know at the same time, then you will have a much better idea of how much work is going to be involved and how much you will be shouldering if you go ahead. Also you won't irritate people with a zillion different flyers, and it will make it seem more real so you might get more accurate responses.
ALSO
probably a comment from Captain Obvious here, but check with your parents ESPECIALLY your mum first. Make her think it's her idea if you can/can bear to. But it's certainly her house and her neighbourhood and you are not going to be a happy camper if she isn't happy.
