From Chicken Wings to Campus Events: Why Custom Inflatable Arches Work for Everyone

Did you know that International Chicken Wing Day is in July?  It is one of those fun random holidays that give people an excuse to gather, celebrate, and of course eat.  This saucy celebration was first declared in 1977 by Buffalo, New York’s then-Mayor Stan Makowski, in honor of the city’s claim to fame of inventing the buffalo wing.  According to the Smithsonian Magazine, the now famous dish was born at the Anchor Bar in 1964.

Random as it may seem, International Chicken Wing Day is actually a great example of how inflatables can turn even the most niche holidays into memorable events.  At Inflatable Design Group, we had the pleasure of working with the organizers of the National Buffalo Wing Festival in Buffalo, NY.  This annual festival takes place every year in August to celebrate all things wings, IDG had the pleasure of creating a custom inflatable arch that has become a key visual centerpiece for the event.

Arches That Make an Entrance

The inflatable arch we created for the Buffalo Wing Festival is more than just an entrance, it is a photo op, a backdrop, and a giant, welcoming beacon for festival attendees.  It has helped define the event’s identity year after year and has stood up to the test of time.

We can match your organization’s exact brand colors using PMS color matching, and we can add logos, text, sponsor shout outs, or even 3D shapes to bring your arch to life.  You can also opt for removable banners, which give your inflatable arch some extra versatility.  This means you can sue the same arch across multiple events, simply swapping the signage to reflect a new theme, sponsor, or date.  One inflatable, multiple uses.

Custom Inflatable Arches Are Built To Last

We know that budgets can be tighter, which is why our arches are built to last for years.  With the right care and cleaning, many of our inflatables have a life span of around 10 years.  Not sure how to keep yours looking fresh?  Our YouTube channel has tons of helpful videos on troubleshooting, maintenance, and storage so you can get the most out of your investment.
