Planning a summer festival in Minneapolis or St. Paul? One of the most important decisions you’ll make is choosing the right tent, table, and chair rentals to keep your guests comfortable, your vendors covered, and your event running smoothly.
At Twin Cities Tent & Event Rental, we help festival organizers like you create professional, seamless experiences that impress crowds and reduce your stress. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know to rent tents, tables, and chairs for your next outdoor festival.
Why Festival Rentals Matter More Than You Think
Outdoor events come with unique challenges: heat, unpredictable weather, and high foot traffic. The right rental setup can make or break the guest experience.
Whether you’re hosting a food truck fair, music fest, arts walk, or community gathering, properly sized festival tents, tables, and chairs keep things organized, shaded, and functional — while elevating your event’s visual appeal.
Choosing the Right Festival Tent for Your Event
There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to tents. Your layout depends on your expected attendance, event type, and vendor footprint. We help you match your tent type and size to your needs.
Popular tent rental options include:
High-peak tents for center stage or main gathering areas
Sidewalls to block wind or rain
Different size options for different size event spaces
Add-on options for coolers, garbage receptacles, linens and more
Not sure how many or what kind you need? Our team will help you design a layout and recommend the right setup.
Tables and Chairs: Festival Must-Haves
Festival guests expect plenty of seating and places to relax, eat, or connect. The most successful events anticipate this with ample table and chair rentals.
We offer:
- Folding chairs for large-scale seating
- 6’ and 8’ banquet tables for vendor use or community seating
- Cocktail tables for mingling areas
- Linens to elevate the look and feel
Pro tip: Create shaded seating clusters under tents to encourage guests to linger and enjoy the festival longer.
Planning for Comfort, Safety, and Flow
Layout plays a big role in your event’s success. Consider:
Crowd flow and walkways
Accessibility and emergency access
Vendor spacing
Tent orientation for sun and wind
We work with you to map the event footprint and recommend tent placements that maximize comfort and visibility.
Setup, Teardown & Vendor Coordination
Event logistics are no joke. Our professional crew handles everything — from delivery and setup to breakdown and pickup — so you can focus on the rest of your event planning.
We coordinate with your other vendors to ensure:
- Setup timing aligns with staging, food, or décor installs
