When you think of Mountain Productions, it’s no surprise that staging and music events are the first thoughts that come to mind. Behind the stages, however, has been our transition from solely a staging company to that of an integration company, providing vendor services in Engineering, Fabrication, Installation and Rigging Sales. This integration focus allows us to provide each service as a stand-alone offering, where anyone can approach us as a trusted third-party vendor to assist in entertainment and industrial installations. Our recent installation at Longwood University, where our experienced team engineered, fabricated and installed rigging attachment points for the speakers and scoreboard, is just one example of our crew’s capabilities and expertise in custom-creating solutions that are tailored to each of our client’s requirements. With each project we undertake, there is always a unique set of challenges and considerations that must be considered, and our time at Longwood University was no different. Below, we take you through our full journey at Longwood and highlight the rigging, design, safety compliance and project management considerations presented at each stage of the project.

August was a month to remember for the Mountain Productions crew. Over the last month, we took center stage at some of the hottest festivals and events throughout the country! Let’s take a closer look at the exciting journey we embarked on this August.
August started off strong with our return to Musikfest in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where we relished the opportunity to once again provide the staging and rigging equipment for this 10-day music extravaganza. Our SP-1 main stage stood as a remarkable testament to its efficiency and innovation, featuring self-erecting towers and automated weather walls. Notably, the automated weather walls swiftly adapt to changing weather conditions, an important feature to have over the run of this 10-day music event. This cost-effective and adaptable staging solution has become an integral part of both Mountain Productions and Musikfest’s success, enhancing the festival’s reputation for delivering seamless, unforgettable musical experiences.

At Mountain Productions, we were pumped to provide our staging for the inaugural Beach It! Music Festival at Virginia Beach.

Our crew kicked off the busy festival season earlier this month with a visit to New York City for this year’s Governors Ball Music Festival. Moving to the new location of Flushing Meadows Corona Park, this year’s festival featured a stacked lineup that included Ice Spice, Lizzo, Kendrick Lamar and Lil Nas X. It was great to have the opportunity to once again play a vital role in this epic multi-day music festival where our state-of-the-art equipment, experienced crew, and meticulous attention to detail set the stage for some truly unforgettable performances.
