Cold-Air Inflatable Adds Pizzazz to Italian Festival

Inflatable Tower of Pisa at The Italian Heritage Festival in New YorkCustom Inflatable Adds a Sense of History to the Italian Heritage Festival

 Event marketers, The Display Company, were charged with creating an interesting centerpiece for the Italian Heritage Festival in Buffalo, NY. As the largest street festival in the United States, this event would attract thousands of onlookers.

What came to mind? One of the most well-known Italian landmarks ever: the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

The Display Company specializes in decorative display props for commercial and corporate events, film, television, stage productions and more. Needless to say, they have the creative power to generate ideas on the fly. What they didn't have was someone to bring those ideas to life. Enter Landmark Creations.

Working within the criteria The Display Company provided, we developed a cold-air inflatable, 30-foot-tall model of the Tower. This allowed the inflatable to stay upright via an electric blower system.  Thanks to its light weight and mobility, the entire display can be packaged for later use.  And that's just what The Display Company had in mind.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa got a lot of publicity and has now become part of The Display Company's inventory. "Buffalo and the surrounding areas look forward to this annual street festival. This 30' Leaning Tower of Pisa was a showstopper that was well received. We are looking forward to renting it to other festivals around the country."

Dual purpose. Revenue generating. Eye catching. Just a few of the things we love most about inflatables.

"[There was] fun, excitement, and encouragement for everyone to actually walk under/through [the arch] and it worked.  We have cheerleaders and small children at the finish line by the arch handing out stickers, saying ‘I did it.’ Before we had the arch, [people] would straggle in anywhere."
