From community festivals and waterfront celebrations to major concerts, Florida hosts outdoor events throughout the year.
Behind every successful show is an enormous amount of planning — and one of the most important pieces of infrastructure is the stage.
Stage Size Matters
Start by matching the stage to the production rather than simply choosing the largest available platform. Consider the number of performers, backline requirements, audio system, lighting design, LED video, scenic elements and available venue footprint.
Think Beyond the Deck
The performance surface is only one part of a professional concert stage. Production planners must consider everything that needs to surround or attach to the stage, including audio, lighting, video, access points and backstage infrastructure.
Consider Load-In
A stage can affect the entire event schedule. Efficient deployment provides other production departments more time to complete their work and can simplify the overall load-in sequence.
Site Access Is Critical
Mobile stages require appropriate vehicle access. Event organizers should verify access routes, turning space, ground conditions and the final stage location well before production arrives.
Weather Planning Is Essential
Florida weather can change quickly. Every outdoor production should include appropriate weather monitoring and emergency procedures based on the equipment being used and applicable requirements.
APEX Mobile Stage Options
APEX offers stage configurations for productions ranging from smaller community events to major festival and concert environments. That flexibility allows producers to select a stage based on actual production requirements.
Build the Event From the Stage Out
Once the correct stage is selected, audio, lighting, video and supporting infrastructure can be planned around a known platform. That creates a more organized production from the beginning.
