We have a few more weeks of summer before the crisp new season gets here, but it’s the perfect time to start planning for your fall events! The weather will be getting cooler and everyone will be ready for the festivities to begin. With fall being the second largest consumer spending season of the year, (second to Christmas), it’s the perfect time to jumpstart charity fundraising, host ticketed or private events, and take advantage of the countless fall event themes while the weather is still decent for outdoor activities. Here are some of our favorite fall event ideas!

• Traditional Fall Festival

A traditional fall festival is a great way to celebrate the changing of seasons with lots of your favorite long-standing traditions to get the whole family involved. Whether or not you live in a place where the leaves change colors, you have an opportunity to bring people together. From haunted houses to scavenger hunts, make the most of your fall event. Make your event fun for the whole family and include an arts and crafts station for kids, good live music and beer for the adults, and of course, delicious apple cider. Other fun fall festival activities include bobbing for apples and pumpkin carving. If your fall festival is around Halloween, invite your guests to dress up in their favorite Halloween costumes and host a costume competition! The winner with the best costume takes home a prize!

• Oktober Fest

Oktoberfest is an autumn festival held in late September and early October, featuring the drinking of beer. Sounds fun, right? Wunderbar! Wizard Studios is here to help you 

enjoy the best Oktoberfest party outside of Munich. Cook up some German sausages on the grill and serve soft pretzels, potato salad, beer, and homemade apple strudel. Feature the traditional Oktoberfest colors (red and blue) and Bavarian-themed decorations of all kinds. Hire a DJ or Traditional Polka band and teach your guests how to dance the polka. As your guests dance and consume pretzels and beer, they will feel as if they’ve been transported to one of Munich’s most treasured biergartens, all without a passport. Prost!

• Food Truck Fair

Food just tastes better when it's been made in a kitchen on wheels, doesn’t it? Host a Fall Food Truck Fair and invite the best food trucks in town to come together in a central location. Some of these trucks are run by food truck operators, but others are run by established restaurants that have launched their own food trucks for events. Hosting a  Food Truck Fair brings its own set of logistical challenges, but Wizard Studios is here to help! We will work to obtain all necessary permits and insurance for your festival, help you book live entertainment, and determine where the food trucks will be located at the venue. Food seems to always bring people together and a Food Truck Fair is just the thing to encourage your guests to gather and connect.

• Drive-In Night

 Fall nights are perfect for grabbing a blanket and cozying up with your loved ones in the grass to watch a movie on the big screen. But the drive-in experience is more than just a movie destination. We can transform the nostalgic drive-in movie experience into an interactive outdoor live event for concerts, product launches, special events, conferences, and more. From stages and trussing to lighting and audio, Wizard Studios has everything you need to create the perfect drive-in experience. We can help you reimagine any event. The Wizard Studios team is committed to collaborating and creative problem-solving. If you have an idea, we can help you bring it to life, even if your idea is outside of the box. We love bringing people together. Your drive-in event can set the canvas for our bespoke fabricated solutions, staging, lighting, truss, large format printing, LED walls, and more. With our team of professionals, we will always build on time and on budget. Don’t forget the popcorn!

From Oktoberfest to Drive-Ins, Wizard Studios is well equipped to take care of all your fall event needs! Have an idea for an event this fall but don’t know where to start? No idea is too “out of the box” for our team. Contact Wizard Studios today and let us help make your fall event dreams a reality!
