Fairs, Festivals & Fundraisers

A screen big enough to carry your whole multi-day event

Multi-day fairs and festivals live or die on whether the back of the crowd can see what's happening. Our 17-foot mobile LED screen puts the main stage, the schedule, your sponsors and the live feed in front of everyone on the lot — bright enough to read in full daylight and crisp enough to hold attention up close.

A fair or fundraiser that runs several days in a row is really several events stacked back to back — a different schedule each morning, a headliner each night, sponsors who expect their logo seen by every person who walks through the gate. One mobile LED screen, parked in the right spot, ties all of it together. It shows the day's lineup at 9 a.m., a magnified live feed of the grandstand act at 9 p.m., and a steady rotation of sponsor graphics in between.

Because the screen is trailer-mounted, it fits most lots and sets up fast, and it runs off an onboard generator when there's no power nearby — so it works at a county fairground, a downtown festival footprint, or a charity event in a field. We serve the full Quad Cities: Davenport and Bettendorf in Iowa, Moline and Rock Island in Illinois, and the wider stretch of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois. Book it for one day or for the whole run.

Why a big screen earns its spot

Fairs draw enormous crowds — and the screen reaches all of them

Put the main stage in front of the whole crowd

The people in the back rows are the first to drift. They can't see the singer's face, can't read the auctioneer's board, can't tell what's happening on stage — so they wander off to the food trucks. A 17-foot mobile LED screen beside or behind the stage fixes that: it carries a live feed of whatever's happening, magnified large enough that someone at the far fence gets the same view as someone in the front. The human brain can identify an image seen for as little as 13 milliseconds (MIT News, 2014), which is why a bright, sharp feed pulls a distracted crowd's eyes back to the stage almost instantly.

For a fundraiser, that same screen is where you run the paddle raise, show the impact video, and put the donor tally up where the whole room can watch it climb. The moment everyone can see the same thing at the same time, the energy in a crowd changes — and that shared moment is what people remember about your event.

Give sponsors something they can actually see

Sponsors pay to be noticed, and a banner zip-tied to a fence rarely delivers. A rotating loop of sponsor graphics on a 17-foot screen does — running between schedule updates and live feed all day, in front of a crowd that's already looking that direction. The Solomon Partners 2023 Benchmark Report found out-of-home advertising produces the highest levels of consumer recall versus television, radio, print and online (OAAA, 2023), and OAAA/Nielsen research found nearly two-thirds of people who saw a digital out-of-home ad took at least one action afterward, such as searching online or visiting a store (OAAA/Nielsen, 2020).

That gives you a real package to sell: title-sponsor placement on the screen during the headline act, logo rotations through the day, a thank-you slide during the fundraiser ask. It's the kind of visibility that brings sponsors back next year — and an easy line to add to next season's prospectus.

Keep a multi-day crowd oriented

Across a several-day run, the schedule changes every morning and the questions never stop — when does the parade start, which stage is the band on, where's the 4-H judging. The screen answers all of it at a glance: today's lineup, the next act and a countdown, and clear notices when a time slot shifts. One bright, central display does the work of a dozen printed signs that go out of date the moment the schedule moves.

Our on-site technician handles the content updates for you, so the screen stays current from gates-open to last call without anyone on your team babysitting it. Swapping the morning schedule for the evening's live feed is a few clicks — not a scramble.

Built for several days in a row

A multi-day rental is exactly what the screen is made for. It stays parked on your lot for the full run, powered by its onboard generator or your venue's hookup, ready every morning without re-delivery. You're not paying to set up and tear down each day — you set the screen once and use it from the first gate to the final night.

Add-ons fill in the rest: content design if you want your schedule slides and sponsor loops built for you, extra hours for a late headliner, and travel coverage for events out toward the edges of Eastern Iowa or Western Illinois.

How it works

From your dates to teardown, we handle the screen

Tell us the dates

Send us your fairground or festival lot, how many days you're running, and what you want on the screen — live feed, schedules, sponsor loops, the fundraiser ask. Use the quote form and we'll scope it for your event.

We deliver & run it

We bring the trailer-mounted screen to your lot, set it up, and power it off the onboard generator or your venue hookup. An on-site technician stays to run the content and keep the feed clean every day of the run.

You run your event

You focus on the crowd while the screen carries the stage, the schedule and your sponsors across the whole event. When the last day wraps, we handle teardown and haul-out.

Good to know

Fairs & fundraisers: common questions

Can the screen run for several days in a row?

Yes — multi-day fairs and festivals are exactly what it's built for. The screen stays on your lot for the full run, so there's no re-delivery between days. You set it up once and use it from the first gate to the final night. Tell us how many days you're running and we'll scope it through the quote form.

What if our fairground or festival site doesn't have power?

That's fine. The screen is trailer-mounted and runs off an onboard generator, so it works in a field, a parking lot, or anywhere without a convenient hookup. If venue power is available, it can run off that instead.

Will it be readable during a daytime fair, not just at night?

Yes. It's a high-brightness, daylight-readable LED screen, so the live feed, schedules and sponsor graphics stay clear in full sun. The HD pixel pitch (roughly 3.9-4.8mm) also keeps the picture sharp for people standing close to it, not just the far crowd.

Do we need someone on our team to operate it?

No. Every rental includes an on-site technician who runs the screen and handles content changes throughout your event — swapping schedules, cutting to the live feed, rotating sponsor loops — so your team can stay focused on the crowd.
