About “ISFA 1” Promotional Vehicle

The Award-Winning “ISFA 1” is a 35 foot step van with a custom designed and colorful ISFA promotional wrap that features the 2026 Indiana Festival Guide Cover and highlights 129 of Indiana’s Festivals, Fairs & Events. In addition, colorful mylar fringe is added to the bottom during appearances and parades.

A 61 minute custom sound track that features fanfares, patriotic and festival musical selections and announcements, a custom light package and four bubble machines that produce over 8,000 bubbles per minute make for a real festive touch to any ISFA member festival parade or event. The 7 speakers produce sound heard a block away (don’t place near bands in line-up).
