Solution

Groundswell designed and produced a 20' x 20' immersive destination that brought Rhode Island’s most iconic outdoor experiences to Denver. The space featured a Cliff Walk-inspired installation with a scenic coastal backdrop, creating a visually compelling centerpiece for festival attendees.

A beach-themed lounge with sea-scented misting fans and charging stations offered a welcome place to relax, while destination content showcased Rhode Island’s beaches, trails, lighthouses, and historic landmarks. Interactive photo opportunities, trip giveaways, and Del’s Frozen Lemonade packets provided engaging touchpoints that helped educate attendees and inspire future travel to the Ocean State.
