CHITA's First-Ever Appearance at SummerFest

Background

As one of the largest outdoor music festivals in the U.S., SummerFest attracts around 750,000 attendees over its three-week-long celebration each year. In 2025, CHITA proudly made its debut at this massive cultural event as a North American home furnishing brand, bringing our outdoor furniture collections directly to U.S. consumers. This marked CHITA’s first time stepping into a major lifestyle and cultural festival, a bold move that represents our commitment to connecting with the next generation of trend-savvy consumers while expanding our brand footprint into a vibrant, music-driven atmosphere.

Festival-goers were excited to encounter a home furnishing brand in this unique setting and showed strong interest in CHITA’s products. For CHITA, this was a rare opportunity for high-density, high-quality exposure, building both momentum and confidence for further expansion in the North American market.

On-Site Highlights

During SummerFest, CHITA curated two immersive exhibition booths designed to blend comfort, style, and interaction. Around the booths, we created photo-ready check-in zones with prominent CHITA branding and stylish décor that drew festival-goers to stop, relax, and take photos. Many visitors enjoyed lounging in CHITA’s comfortable seating, making our booth a popular backdrop across social media.

We showcased three key products:

·Elara Outdoor Rattan Sofa Set

·Acker Rope Outdoor Bistro Set

·Blythe Upholstered Adjustable Height Swivel Bar & Counter Stools

These high-quality, design-forward products offered festival attendees a firsthand experience of CHITA’s “Redefine Comfort in Modern Design philosophy. Their presence not only elevated the aesthetic of our booths but also left a lasting impression of CHITA’s commitment to both beauty and functionality.
