We have designed and erected truss proscenium stages; we have adorned entrance ways with elegant swaths of shimmering draperies; we have hung voluminous layers of sheer organza walls highlighted with dazzling cascades of twinkling lights.
Fundraising Theme ‘Wizard of Oz’
For their latest University gala event, LaVerne celebrated both graduates and their retiring University president in a “Wizard of Oz” themed fundraising extravaganza. Main Street Banner created a citiscape of sparkling green sequins with explosions of verdant fabrics on the main stage, alongside giant printed murals and big-screen televisions. Some other custom decor creations include giant lollipops, and fields of wild poppy flower cut-outs in exaggerated sizes.
School Graduations
In addition to United States flags and patriotic buntings, one of the most popular uses of street banners since COVID times has been for high school graduations and school recognition: each student, or athlete, has his or her senior photo emblazoned on an avenue gala celebration banner.
Graduation Banners
Graduation banners are a proven success for fundraising, as well. Local business sponsor logos or names can be added to the banners. After their public appearance on the city streets, the banners can be presented to the student families. Avenue banners promote school recognition, along with civic participation and community pride.
