Food Vendors
For an all-day or multi-day event, food and beverages are a must-have. Whether you need tents for food service & vendors or a shady spot for guests to dine, we’ve got you covered. For guests dining, we recommend a simple pole tent combined with fencing. This style of tent will allow plenty of room for people to gather comfortably beneath the shade, while a fence will clearly mark the boundaries of the area. If you plan to have VIP guests, create a private secondary area.
Staging
Whether you plan to host a speaker or live entertainment, you’ll want to consider staging. Especially if you are expecting to have a large crowd size. Renting staging will ensure that everyone can see and hear your host or speakers and that they are safely separated from the public. If needed, you can combine staging with our crowd control options, from barricades to white fencing. Which can also be used to section off a variety of areas throughout your event space. Including ticketed entryways and the designated walking path!
