The 12 Carnival Tent Options to Keep Your Event Covered and Comfy

There are endless possibilities when it comes to choosing the right carnival tent. From vendor shelters to entertainment spaces, each tent style offers unique benefits to meet your specific needs. Below, we've highlighted 5 popular carnival tent styles and their standout features.

1. Compact Pop-Up Tent: Lightweight and convenient, pop-up tents are perfect for carnival vendors or concessions. With an included roller bag, they are easy to transport and can be set up in 20 minutes or less—ideal for quick setups and smaller spaces.
2. Stylish High Peak Tent: Featuring an open interior and an elegant “floating” center pole, this tent design creates a striking visual impact. Available in 10x10 or 20x20 sizes, high peak tents are perfect for weekend events, adding style while maximizing compact spaces.
3. Large Pole Tent: Shelter larger groups with a spacious pole tent, ideal for creating covered dining areas or protecting carnival games from the elements. Pole tents require staking on grass and have center poles, offering a traditional carnival look while accommodating big crowds and large events.
4. Open Interior Frame Tent: With 100% usable space, frame tents are perfect for hosting special carnival performances, entertainment, or games. Unlike pole tents, frame tents can be anchored with a tent ballasting system, making them ideal for areas where staking isn’t an option.
5. Custom Striped Tent: Make your carnival stand out with a custom striped canopy that draws attention. From classic carnival stripes to custom-printed designs, we can create a one-of-a-kind tent that enhances your event’s theme and boosts visual appeal. Please note that custom features may result in an additional fee.
