We build worlds

Challenge

Outside Days continues to trailblaze as the first-of-its-kind event that blends the outdoor industry with music, networking, films, gear demos, and panel discussions – creating an annual must-attend gathering for both consumers and industry insiders. In its third year, we accepted the challenge to build worlds invite festival goers to travel from the main stage to immersive themed areas that define the Outside Days brand.

Solution

Groundswell accomplished its the third year of festival production for Outside Days, with a focused approach on building its worlds – various locations throughout the site that bring to life the ethos of Outside and intentionally incorporate the 100+ brand partners. Each world hosted unique programming including panels, workshops, live music, on-stage talent and speakers – all tied to the theme and aesthetic of its environment.
