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.

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.
