Summer festivals bring communities together like nothing else. From music fests and food fairs to art walks and outdoor markets, these events are all about fun, connection, and discovery. But sometimes, with so much going on in so many places, it’s hard for attendees to know where to go, what to see, or how to get around.
That’s where Proxi comes in. Proxi is an easy-to-use digital mapping tool that lets you build interactive festival maps that attendees can explore on their phones — no app download needed. Here’s how Proxi can help your summer festival stand out, get more visitors, and keep everyone happily on track.
