With more evidence that the Mayan prediction of the “end of the world” is quite inaccurate and misinterpreted (rolls eyes), we anticipate and are preparing for another great year of concerts, festivals, political rallies, college commencements and more! 2012 proved to be a busy year for Mountain Productions, full of a variety of events of all sizes and covering a wide array of industries.
We’re back with another update from DC. Check out some new images from the Christmas Tree Lighting site, where our crew is busy finishing the build.

As Thanksgiving festivities begin to wrap up, Christmas season quickly rolls in. One of the most celebrated Christmas traditions is the Annual National Christmas Tree Lighting at Washington DC. The ceremony is a unifying event that both local and national communities share to celebrate the holiday season. The event has a rich history dating back to 1923 and President Calvin Coolidge. Since then, the event has changed locations several times and has evolved into a larger production.
Mountain Productions worked with the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade to set up structural technical support for the “NBC Host Position”. The parade took place on Broadway / 34th Street in NYC. This is Mountain’s third year in a row helping out at this iconic event.
Specifically, Mountain Productions provided a 60′ x 13′ Aluminum Truss Lighting Support Grid and a 49′ x 20′ Camera / VIP / Host Platform. The structure was constructed to allow pedestrians to walk underneath the platform without obstruction.
Mountain Productions recently returned from setting up staging at the Electric Daisy Carnival in Orlando, Florida. Mountain has been thankful to be a part of the EDC event for the past several years. The Electric Daisy Carnival is a dance/techno music festival held in Orlando and Las Vegas. The festival offers a unique 360 degree experience and high energy performances from renowned electro music artists.
Mountain provided 3 mobile autostages (SL-250, SL-320, & SAM 550), tower roofing and scaffold towers for the event.
Mountain Productions was proud to be a part of the Democracy Plaza event at Rockefeller Center in New York. The event was created by NBC News and it featured various interactive exhibits, including a map of the United States on the iconic Rockefeller Center icing rink that adapted to the presidential race results.
Mountain provided press release platforms for the event. Seen in the pictures below are details of the platforms constructed. Mountain offers completely customizable staging solutions, offering anything from a full Mountain Truss stage to press platform, as seen below.
