Stilt Walker Las Vegas — Costumed Stilt Characters for Festivals & Events

What's in the Set

The Stilt Walking Repertoire

01

Roaming Stilt Character

Meet, greet, pose, move on. The default booking: a costumed character working a crowd for a set number of hours.

02

Stilts + Fire

Fire fans and fire breathing performed from stilts. Rare, and it stops a festival crowd dead.

03

Stilts + LED

Illuminated stilt dancing with LED fans — the night version, and a favourite at club and ball events.

04

Photo Moments

A character positioned as a photo op with a handler, so guests queue, pose and post.

05

Flyering & Brand Ambassador

Handing out product, flyers or samples from height — impossible to walk past.

06

Costume Library

Butterfly, mushroom, flower, Cheshire Cat, Sally, rainbow NYE, 90s, crimson playa and more. Costumes are built in-house, so custom builds to a brand or theme are possible.

What the venue needs to provide

Figures tagged Caroline to confirm are drafted from standard industry practice and still need to be checked against her actual equipment before this page goes to a client.

Ceiling height: About 12 ft minimum indoors, including along every corridor on the route Caroline to confirm
Ground surface: Flat and stable — concrete, asphalt, packed dirt, short grass, carpet. Loose gravel, sand, deep grass and stairs are not walkable
Mount / dismount space: A chair or a raised ledge and a private-ish spot to stilt up, plus a spotter
Set structure: Roaming is booked in 45-minute sets with 15-minute breaks — a performer cannot stay up indefinitely Caroline to confirm
Weather: Rain, ice and sustained high wind make stilts unsafe outdoors
Costume changes: Multiple characters in one booking need a green room and roughly 20 minutes between looks Caroline to confirm
Escort: For dense crowds a handler is recommended and can be supplied
