On average, professional stilt walkers cost $250-$350. The exact price will vary depending on your location, the length of the event, their skill level, and the specifics of their performance. Some stilt walkers may just mingle in costume while others may dance, juggle, do fire tricks, or perform with LEDs.
Your stilt walker will need a fair amount of space to perform to the best of their ability, with vertical space obviously being the most important. The exact height of your stilt walker may vary, but to be safe your venue should have at least 10-foot ceilings. Or even better, hold your event outdoors!
When designing your event, be sure your performer has plenty of room to move around between guests, tables, and any decorations. Level locations are also ideal with no stairs, steep slopes, or uneven flooring. Go over the venue parameters with your stilt walker in advance to be sure there won’t be any issues on the day of the event. You might even meet them at the venue beforehand to walk through the space so they can be familiar with the layout.
Stilt walkers are more than just people on stilts – they are true entertainers! Their eye-catching costumes and exaggerated size make them great for mingling through crowds, greeting guests, handing out flyers, and posing for photos. Some stilt walkers may have other performance options too, including juggling or dancing as well as fire or LED performances.
Stilt walking is the perfect family-friendly entertainment for events of all types. They are best suited for outdoor events like street fairs, festivals, carnivals, and community events. But they can be a part of indoor events too, as long as the ceilings are high enough! Consider a stilt walker for your next birthday party, corporate event, or circus-themed prom, or Halloween party. If you’re looking for something eye-catching to draw in new clients at your grand opening or trade show, stilt walkers are sure to do the trick.
