Arlington Common Fly Fishing Festival

Three years of production excellence for Vermont's premier fly fishing celebration.

The Vision

Since 2023, the Arlington Common Fly Fishing Festival has grown into one of Vermont's most anticipated community celebrations. Over three consecutive years (and continuing into 2026), this multi-day event brings together anglers, artisans, and music lovers for a unique blend of education, entertainment, and outdoor culture. The organizers needed a production partner who could scale with their vision—delivering consistent, reliable technical support across three full days of programming, rain or shine.

The Solution

We engineered a comprehensive production ecosystem that evolved year over year. Our scope included full audio-visual production for three days of meetings and presentations, professional sound reinforcement and custom lighting for live bands, precision video systems for close-up fly-tying demonstrations (so every knot is visible to the crowd), decorative uplighting to transform the cocktail reception space, outdoor lighting to extend the festival into the evening, and a distributed outdoor sound system to cover three days of music and speeches across the common. Every year, we refined our approach—learning the site, anticipating weather challenges, and building trust with the organizers and performers. It's the kind of long-term partnership that defines the Equinox difference.

"Year after year, Equinox has been the backbone of our festival's technical production. Their team adapts to our evolving needs, handles the unpredictability of outdoor events with ease, and ensures every presentation, performance, and demonstration runs flawlessly. They're not just vendors—they're true partners in our success."
