Apps & Kiosks for Festivals.
Mapzest can build your festival its own dedicated map and guide - a living, interactive site guide that brings together every stallholder, performer and offer on site, updated in real time.
Not a Listing. A Whole Guide to Your Festival.
Line-up, schedule, vendors and guide all in one place
Most businesses use Mapzest for a single listing on an existing map. A festival is different - it's a destination in its own right, for as long as it runs. Mapzest can build your festival its own dedicated guide, with its own map of the site, so every stage, stall, food vendor and facility is exactly where festival-goers expect to find it. And unlike a lot of alternatives, it's flexible about who keeps it current - your team can manage every listing centrally, hand control to each stallholder and performer individually, or run a mix of both across your site.
Every Stallholder and Performer, Somewhere on the Map
Managed centrally by your team, individually by each trader, or a mix of both - list your festival alongside businesses like these

One Running Order, Built From Every Stage and Act
A programme that updates itself, instead of a printed one that's out of date by lunchtime
Every performer, stage and stallholder can be handed their own listing to manage directly, or your team can run the whole running order centrally - whichever fits how your festival is organised, or a mix of both across different parts of the site. However it's managed, a headline set, a workshop tent, a late line-up change and a family activity slot all sit on the same running order, so festival-goers always know what's on and where.
Every Trader's Offer, Landing in the Festival-Goer's Pocket
More reasons to spend at more stalls across the whole site
Every stallholder and vendor can create their own offers, or your team can set them up centrally on their behalf - either way, they appear directly in the festival-goer's Mapzest Wallet as they move around your site. A food stall's meal deal, a merchandise discount, a craft vendor's first-time offer and a returning-visitor reward all sit in one place - spreading spend across every trader, not just the ones nearest the entrance.
