Festivals & Large Events

Festival Hero.png

A memorable, hands-on activation built for a crowd.

 

Saddle & Sage brings an engaging mix of plants, creativity, and ranch character to festivals, grand openings, fairs, conferences, markets, and community celebrations.

Designed for 50 to 300+ guests, our large-event experiences are built around steady guest flow. Participants can stop in, create something meaningful, and leave with a finished plant project—without committing to a full seated workshop.
 

Ideal For

  • Festivals and street fairs

  • Grand openings

  • Corporate and community celebrations

  • Conferences and conventions

  • Shopping centers and retail events

  • City and county programs

  • School and nonprofit fundraisers

  • Holiday markets

  • Sponsor and brand activations

  • Ranch, western, and agricultural events

Choose Your Activation
 

Planting Bar

Guests choose a plant, build their arrangement, add decorative finishes, and take home their creation. Projects can be streamlined for fast-moving crowds or expanded into a more personalized experience.
 

Custom-Branded Planter Station

Turn the activity into a lasting branded keepsake. Wooden planter boxes can feature a company logo, event name, sponsor mark, or commemorative design.

Live hot branding may be available at suitable venues, subject to space, fire-safety, and event requirements.
 

Adopt-a-Plant Experience

Guests select a plant, personalize its container or plant marker, and receive simple care instructions. This approachable format is ideal for guests of different ages and experience levels.
 

Gladys Mobile Plant Experience

Make Gladys—our vintage horse trailer transformed into a mobile plant boutique and workshop—the centerpiece of your event. Her rustic wood displays, sage-green details, café lights, and ranch character create a welcoming destination that guests naturally want to explore and photograph.

For venues where Gladys is not practical, we can create a flexible 10' × 10' or 10' × 20' activation using tents, tables, crates, signage, and coordinated displays.
 

Ranch Animal Experience

For select events, Saddle & Sage may be able to incorporate a carefully managed ranch-animal meet-and-greet or themed photo opportunity. Availability depends on the venue, weather, travel distance, permitting, animal welfare, and staffing requirements.
 
Built for Guest Flow

Large events require more than a beautiful setup. We plan each activation around:

  • Expected attendance

  • Event length

  • Participation goals

  • Guest arrival patterns

  • Project completion time

  • Available space and access

  • Staffing needs

  • Replenishment and supply storage

  • Setup and breakdown requirements

Depending on the project, multiple guests can participate at once while our team keeps materials organized and the line moving.
 
Customization & Sponsorship

Your activation can be customized to reinforce an event theme, organization, or presenting sponsor. Options may include:

  • Branded wooden planters

  • Custom plant markers

  • Sponsor or event signage

  • Coordinated colors and decorative materials

  • Branded plant-care cards

  • Themed plant selections

  • Commemorative event designs

  • Gladys décor and signage

  • Photo-friendly display moments

Customized projects require advance planning and may include minimum quantities or design fees.
