Sticky Post By mountainproductions On June 28, 2013

The Electric Daisy Experience

Another EDM event that Mountain has been working with for the past few years is the equally impressive Electric Daisy Carnival. EDC is a unique festival tour that stops at New York, Chicago and ends at Las Vegas. Its extraordinary environment draws sold out crowds and die hard fans from around the world. Mountain Productions set up various stages for the 2013 EDC tour in New York and Chicago, but the stage provided at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway turned out to be a landmark project for Mountain.

1 week. 30+ events.

Sticky Post By mountainproductions On May 24, 2013

The beginning of the summer is always a jam packed season for Mountain Productions, full of college commencement setups and outdoor festivals. This year was as busy as ever, with a wide variety of events going on at once. During the week of May 13th, Mountain was involved in over 30 events, almost half of which featured hydraulic, mobile autostages. By the time the week was planned out, there wasn’t a mobile stage to spare. The variety in size and rigging capability makes Mountain’s line of mobile stages a popular choice in the summer. They are adaptable enough to work for graduation stages, side concert stages and main festival stages.

Summer is the season that most of us wait for all year. Warm weather, trips to the beach, summer festivals and more are all highlights of the summer months. Many students enjoy the time off before returning to class in the fall, but each year, college seniors prepare for a major milestone in their lives: graduation.

Graduations and commencements celebrate years of hard work and commitment, and the presentation of the event can create a memorable day that families will always remember.
