Festival or convention evening timeline for 10,000 guests

A day-of timeline for a 10,000-guest festival or convention evening with food stations and a main stage. Open it in the timeline tool to change anything.

At 10,000 guests, the evening is about crowd flow: gates, food, the main stage and getting everyone out safely at the end.

What to plan for

  • Plan about 100 food stations and spread them across the space.
  • Work with the venue and local authorities on security, first aid and crowd plans.
  • Open one check-in lane for about every 250 guests, and post table maps at every entrance. Find my seat lets guests look up their table on their phone.
  • Book rentals, staging and AV for the day before, or double the crews. A room this size takes much longer to set.
  • Plan parking, shuttles, security and first aid with the venue early. Big crowds arrive in waves.
