We have been using hula-hoops on the floor with guests.  At times, staff interact with guests showing them cool tricks (like tossing them and making them roll back to you).  Other times, we just grab one when they are not being used and hula hoop in front of guests.  

We have found them to be immensely popular and can fill a large space very easily.

Does anyone have any good ideas for really cheap, quick and easy STEM activities for festivals that serve several hundred kids and their families (of all ages)?
Thanks!
