15 Jul Festival Sign Ideas for Event Planners
If you’re planning an event like a festival, you’ll definitely need some signs!
Printed signs at a festival are like trusty guides in a whirlwind of people and excitement. They point the way to stages, snacks, and all the must-see spots. You can use printed signs to share schedules, safety rules, maps, and directions to places like vendor locations, making sure everyone stays in the loop. Plus, they can display ads from your sponsors or promote their brands.

Four Types of Festival Signs and How to Use Them
Large Entrance/Welcome Signs
At a festival, welcome banners are the energy-drivers. They make people pull out their phones and snap a pic of the vibrant designs. The anticipation is building, and large banners at the entrance are your festival’s friendly ambassadors, setting the mood for an amazing event.
When you’re designing welcome signs, make sure to incorporate the theme of the event. For example, if you’re hosting a local BBQ competition, your welcome banners could include a friendly greeting alongside an image of a smoking grill and two people facing off with steel spatulas.
Lifesize Cut-Outs
Will a famous entertainer be performing at your event? Does a celebrity endorse your brand? Is the festival being hosted by a local public figure? Turn them into a sign! Lifesize cut-outs can turn any corner into a photo-worthy adventure, and add personality to the good vibes. Here are three fun ideas for using lifesize cut-out signs at a festival:
- Photo Ops: Use cut-outs as props for selfies/group photos.
- Storytelling: As attendees walk through high-traffic areas, guide them with themed cut-outs that share the history of the event or tell the story of your brand.
- Celebrity or Mascot Sightings: Add a touch of celebrity excitement with cut-outs of your company mascot, guest of honor, host, or entertainers.
Barrier Covers/Fence Banners
Large festivals often use barriers to direct attendees to ticket booths, merch tents, meet-and-greet spots, food trucks, and entrance/exits. They help to guide foot traffic and ensure the festival spaces are easy to navigate. Festival signs can cover barriers and display important information or branded messaging at the same time. For example, any companies sponsoring your event can be promoted on barrier signs. And if you want to transform a public space, like a park for your festival, fence signs will let people know where and when the event takes place.
Floor or Window Graphics
Floor and window graphics are like colorful breadcrumbs that guide you through the excitement! Use floor graphics to lead the way to food trucks, dance floors, or water stations. Or use window graphics on storefronts to brighten up a street festival with schedules, fun designs, or enticing messages that encourage impulse purchases. Signs aren’t just for info—they’re part of the festival vibe, adding a touch of magic at every step.
