Festival Production in Atlanta

Atlanta is one of the premier festival cities in the American Southeast. Every year, hundreds of thousands of attendees flock to events like Music Midtown, Shaky Knees, ONE Musicfest, Sweetwater 420 Fest, and the Atlanta Jazz Festival. These events demand production partners who understand the unique challenges of large-scale outdoor events in Georgia — unpredictable summer weather, sprawling park venues, multi-day build schedules, and the coordination required to keep multiple stages running simultaneously from gates-open to headliner closeout.

Rocket Productions has been embedded in Atlanta's festival scene for over fifteen years. Our 60,000-square-foot warehouse in Marietta houses one of the largest inventories of mobile staging, line array audio, touring lighting, and outdoor-rated LED video wall in the Southeast. When a festival calls for four stages, delay towers in a 600-foot crowd field, IMAG cameras on every performance space, and a generator farm distributing 2,000 amps across the site, we have the gear, the trucks, and the crew to deliver it. Our multi-stage coordination experience means your production manager gets a single point of contact for every technical department, eliminating the communication breakdowns that plague festivals relying on a patchwork of subcontractors.

Weather contingency planning is baked into every festival production plan we build for Atlanta clients. Georgia's climate brings afternoon thunderstorms in the summer months and unpredictable cold fronts in the fall. We spec wind-rated staging, pre-plan rapid teardown procedures for severe weather, and deploy real-time lightning detection monitoring on site. Our overnight build capability means we can absorb weather delays without pushing your festival opening. When conditions change, our crews adapt because they have done it hundreds of times at Piedmont Park, Centennial Olympic Park, and festival sites across Georgia and the Southeast.
