Festival Prize Wheel
Spin-to-Win Stalls, Lineup Draws and Community Giveaways
At fairs, markets and community festivals, a prize wheel is one of the easiest stall games to run: one person, one screen and a table of prizes. Use it for spin-to-win at a vendor booth, to draw winners from a sign-up list at the main stage, or to settle the running order for performers and food trucks.
How to Run a Festival Prize Wheel
- 1
Set up a screen
A tablet on a stand works for a stall; for the main stage, run it fullscreen on the event's big screen.
- 2
Load and weight prizes
Add your prizes and weight them so small items come up often and the top prize stays rare.
- 3
Collect entries at the stall
For a draw, collect names or email sign-ups through the day and paste them into a separate wheel.
- 4
Draw at a set time
Announce a draw time so people come back to the stage, then spin live and remove each winner.
Why Use a Prize Wheel at a Festival
Simple Stall Game
One volunteer and a tablet can run it all day: no tickets to print and no physical wheel to transport.
Builds Your Mailing List
Vendors can offer a spin in exchange for a newsletter sign-up, turning casual visitors into contacts.
Pulls Crowds to the Stage
A scheduled prize draw gives festival-goers a reason to come back to the main stage at a set time.
Fair Lineup Decisions
Spinning for performance slots or stall positions settles the order without anyone feeling favored.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I run the wheel on a tablet at my stall?
Yes. It works in the browser on iPads and Android tablets. Rotate to landscape and use fullscreen for the best view.
What if there's no Wi-Fi at the festival?
Load the page while you have signal. The spin itself runs in the browser, so a dropped connection won't stop it from working.
How do I make the top prize rare?
Give it a low weight, such as 1, and your common prizes higher weights, such as 10. The wheel picks in proportion to weight.
Can I use my own colors and logo?
Yes. Pick segment colors when you create and save the wheel, and upload your stall or festival logo as the centre image. The saved link reopens it exactly as you set it up.
