Festivals
Festival marquis tents, staging, fencing, power, and crews for food festivals, music events, and multi-day outdoor productions across Houston.
Festival Rentals Built for Crowds, Weather, and Long Days
A festival is a small temporary city. It needs shelter, power, stages, crowd control, food service infrastructure, and a plan for what happens when ten thousand people and a Gulf Coast thunderstorm show up on the same afternoon. ACME Party and Tent has been supplying that city since 1997, outfitting food festivals, music festivals, cultural celebrations, church bazaars, and city-wide events across Houston, Southeast Texas, and the Gulf Coast.
Festival organizers work with us because we bring more than inventory. From our base at 11144 S Post Oak, our crews handle site layout, installation, and teardown on festival timelines, and our festival services team supports the production side from load-in to load-out. One vendor, one point of contact at 713-729-2424, and a lot fewer moving parts for your committee to manage.
Festival Tents That Anchor the Grounds
Our festival marquis and high peak tents are the classic festival look: bright peaks visible across the grounds that give vendors, sponsors, and guests a landmark to navigate by. Frame tents cover vendor rows, beer gardens, and information booths, while large structure tents create main pavilions for dining, exhibitions, and rain-plan programming. Clear top and Keder track structures handle premium hospitality and long-duration installations.
Just as important as the tents themselves is how they are arranged. We help organizers plan vendor spacing, shade coverage, sight lines to stages, and emergency access lanes, the unglamorous details that decide whether a festival flows or bottlenecks.
The Full Festival Equipment List
Beyond tenting, ACME supplies the infrastructure that keeps a festival running:
- Staging and risers for main stages, side stages, and performance areas
- Generators and power distribution for stages, vendors, and lighting
- Stanchions, fencing, and barricades for gates, queues, and beer gardens
- Tables, chairs, and bars for dining areas, vendor booths, and VIP zones
- Lighting and audio-video equipment for evening programming
- Climate control, food warmers, and cooking equipment for food operations
Multi-day festival? Our inventory is built for extended outdoor duty, and our team plans overnight security-friendly layouts, restocking access, and weather response. For emergencies during an event, our 24/7 Quick Response Team is a phone call away at 713-729-2424, extension 22.

Planning a Festival in Houston
Festivals reward early planning more than any other event type. Months out, we work with your committee on the site plan: where the main pavilion anchors the grounds, how vendor rows run, where power originates and how it distributes, and what the rain plan actually looks like in practice. As the date approaches, we coordinate with the venue, the city, and your other production partners so load-in happens in the right order, tents before stages, stages before sound, fencing last.
Budget questions are easier when one vendor carries most of the list; send your event details through our quote form and we will build an itemized proposal your committee can review. And if your festival is really a community fundraiser at heart, our community events page speaks your language, while the events hub covers every other occasion we serve.

Frequently Asked Questions
Festival marquis and high peak tents are the signature look for vendor areas and entries, frame tents cover booths and beer gardens efficiently, and large structure tents create main pavilions for dining and rain-plan programming. Most festivals use a mix, and we help you plan it.
We rent generators and power distribution equipment sized for stages, vendor rows, lighting, and food operations, and our team plans the electrical layout so power lands where it is needed safely. For complex sites, we coordinate with your production and city requirements.
Yes. Our equipment is built for extended outdoor duty, and we plan installations that stand safely overnight across a full festival run. Crews handle load-in ahead of your schedule and load-out after close, and our 24/7 Quick Response Team is available throughout.
We rent stanchions, fencing, and barricades for entry gates, ticket queues, beer garden perimeters, and stage fronts. Crowd flow is part of the site planning conversation, not an afterthought.
As soon as your date and venue are set, ideally several months out. Festival-scale tent and stage inventory is finite across the city, and early booking also leaves time for proper site planning and permitting coordination.
