Watch the WOW factor in action
Fair Day Celebration, on the ground.
A short film of Fair Day Celebration as it has been delivered for VAOVA groups — the artistic moment incentive planners book to guarantee the WOW factor in their programs.
What happens
The Happening, step by step.
The reception unfolds in the town's main square: musicians from the Guatapé Symphonic Band perform a selection of traditional Colombian songs and international hits. The central Happening adds a seven-piece batucada and a circus troupe of up to eight performers, who present amazing acts to the rhythm of the drums. A tribute to the identity of the towns of Colombia — joyful, colourful, communal.
We adapt Fair Day Celebration for each program — choreography, venue, scale and sequence. The in-house studio plans and produces it so the WOW factor lands inside an incentive travel or MICE night, not as a rented add-on.

Why this delivers the WOW factor
The WOW factor, designed for that night.
In incentive travel and corporate retreats, the WOW factor is usually a performance, a surprise entrance or a celebration. We plan that moment as part of the program — venue, timing and the people in the room.
At VAOVA, that moment is never left to chance. We design it, rehearse it, and stage it through our in-house studio — and we call it a Happening. Fair Day Celebration is one of the 9 signature Happenings in our catalog — every one of them a self-contained WOW factor experience, ready to be re-staged for your group in Medellín.
A note on craft
“What the industry calls the WOW factor, we call a Happening. Same emotion. Different discipline.”
