The Ultimate Guide to LED Video Walls for Festivals in Palm Beach

Nothing elevates a Palm Beach festival faster than a massive, bright, seamless LED video wall. From SunFest on the waterfront to charity galas in West Palm Beach and multi-day music events along A1A, a great LED wall gives artists perfect IMAG, keeps sponsors smiling with crystal-clear logos, and creates those viral crowd-phone moments that sell tickets for next year.

At All On Stage Productions, we build and run LED video walls across Palm Beach County every weekend. Here’s everything you need to know to choose the right one for your festival — no guesswork, just real South Florida numbers and pro advice.

Why LED Video Walls Win in Palm Beach

They stay visible in direct Florida sun (5,000–8,000 nits brightness). They’re fully weatherproof and laugh at afternoon thunderstorms. They never wash out under stage lights. They turn on instantly — no warm-up time. They display perfect 4K/8K sponsor graphics and live camera feeds.

Step 1: Choose the Correct Pixel Pitch

Pixel pitch is the distance in millimeters between LED dots. Smaller pitch = sharper picture from closer distances.

For VIP and front-of-stage viewers (10–30 ft away): use 2.9 mm to 3.9 mm pitch. For general admission (30–80 ft away): use 4.8 mm to 6.6 mm pitch. For rear lawn or far-back crowds (80 ft+): use 8 mm to 10 mm pitch.

Palm Beach sweet spot in 2025–2026: 3.9 mm. It looks razor-sharp up close, stays bright in daylight, and keeps the rental price reasonable.

Step 2: Pick Your Screen Layout

Most festivals go with one huge center screen. Many add two side IMAG screens for wider stages. Premium events use curved or 360-degree ribbon walls. One-day pop-ups love mobile LED trailers (drive in, plug in, done).

Step 3: Demand Florida-Proof Specs

Minimum 5,500 nits brightness — 6,500–8,000 nits is better for daytime. Full IP65 rating front and back (survives rain and salt spray). Front-service modules so techs can swap a bad panel in minutes without climbing behind the wall. Active cooling that works when it’s 95 °F and humid.

Step 4: Processing & Content That Looks Pro

Run Novastar VX1000 or Brompton Tessera processors (the industry standards). Feed everything in 4K or 8K for close-up shots. Create sponsor loops and lower-thirds at exact wall resolution. Always have a hot-backup processor ready to switch in seconds.

Step 5: Power and Rigging Reality Check

A typical 30 ft × 17 ft 3.9 mm wall pulls 80–100 amps of clean three-phase power. Rigging must be rated for South Florida 150 mph wind loads. You’ll need 2–3 dedicated LED techs on site from load-in to load-out.

Step 6: Real 2025–2026 Palm Beach Rental Prices

Small festival wall (20 × 12 ft, 3.9 mm): $6,000 – $9,000 per day Medium dual-screen setup (40 × 22 ft total): $15,000 – $25,000 per day Large headline-stage wall (60 × 34 ft + sides): $35,000 – $60,000+ per day (Prices include delivery, build, strike, and on-site technicians.)

Quick Pre-Book Checklist
