Technology for Town Festivals, Street Parties and Funfairs

When the whole town celebrates, the technology has to play along: photon supplies stages, sound and lighting for town festivals, street parties, funfairs and wine festivals – weatherproof set-ups, structural documentation for the permit and engineers who last a whole festival weekend. Since 1995, from Wesseling.

Whether you are a traders' association, a residents' club or the town council: we plan the technology for the whole festival – the stage for the opening, bands and dance groups, sound that carries across square and side streets, presenter microphones for the raffle and award moments, and lighting when the festival runs into the evening. That includes power distribution, clear escape routes and a set-up schedule that respects market hours and residents.

For company celebrations on your own premises see summer party technology – for music festivals with a line-up and changeovers our festival & touring equipment.

Sound point & small stage

Compact sound with a presenter microphone for a square or festival tent, with a small platform if wanted – real jobs start at around €450.

The classic town festival

Covered stage, PA for the square, lighting for the evening programme and technical support through the festival day: real productions range from €1,400 to €4,800 – like a recent funfair party on the Lower Rhine.

Large festival & multi-day funfair

Several days of programme, a larger stage, bands in the evening: such festivals run up to about €8,300 in real projects – the kit stays secured overnight, and set-up and dismantling are paid only once.

From our real festival projects: compact sound set-ups from around €450, the classic town festival with stage, PA, lighting and support €1,400 to €4,800, large and multi-day festivals up to about €8,300. After your enquiry you receive a fixed quote – all individual prices are publicly listed in our rental shop.

Send us the date, the square and the programme via the enquiry form – we come back with a concrete proposal and a fixed price. For the permit we supply structural documentation for stage and truss systems. Set-up is scheduled around market hours and road closures; at multi-day festivals the kit stays secured in place – dismantling happens when the last stall closes.

  • Weatherproof, covered stages with structural documentation for the permit
  • Sound for squares and streets – intelligible instead of booming
  • Levels under control: we keep to your municipality's noise limits
  • Power distribution with clear escape and walking routes
  • Multi-day festivals: kit stays secured in place, one set-up and dismantling

From a funfair party on the Lower Rhine through the annually recurring spring festival of a hospital's friends' association to the open-air festival in Bonn's Rheinaue park – when people celebrate outdoors, photon technology is often on the square.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does technology for a town festival cost?

From our real projects: compact sound set-ups from around €450, the classic town festival with stage, PA and support €1,400 to €4,800, large and multi-day festivals up to about €8,300. After your enquiry you receive a fixed price.

Do we receive documents for the permit?

Yes – for stages and truss systems we supply structural documentation and wind-load assessment; that makes coordination with the public order and building authorities much easier.

How do you keep to noise limits?

We aim the sound at the audience rather than the neighbourhood and run the system within the specified levels – documented on request. The festival stays loud enough, and the complaints stay away.

What happens overnight at a multi-day funfair?

The kit stays in place, secured and weatherproofed – you pay for set-up and dismantling only once, and in the morning the system is ready again in minutes.

Can you step in at short notice?

We deliver daily across the Cologne/Bonn region – even if another supplier drops out, a short-notice enquiry is worth it.

So your festival moves the whole town: send us the date, the square and the programme – and you will quickly receive a concrete proposal with a fixed price and the documents for the permit.
