Delivery in Evanston
Navigating Evanston's tree-lined streets and permit parking zones is our daily routine. We understand the tight turns in some alleys and the need for careful access in historic districts. Please let us know about any stairs, gates, or specific HOA requirements beforehand to ensure a smooth, prompt delivery and setup, especially for homes near the lakefront with limited access.
Evanston event seasons
Evanston's event season kicks into high gear from May through October, with peak demand for outdoor stages in June, July, and September.

Stage & Riser Rentals in Evanston — FAQ
Do I need a permit for a stage in an Evanston park?
Yes, for most stages in Evanston parks, you'll need to apply for a Special Event Permit through the City of Evanston's Parks and Recreation Department. We recommend applying several weeks in advance.
Can you set up a stage on uneven ground like a park lawn or beach?
Our stages are designed to be leveled on various surfaces. Please inform us if your setup location is significantly uneven, like a sloping lawn or sandy beach, so we can bring appropriate leveling equipment.
What are the power requirements for your stages?
Most small stages don't require external power unless you're adding lighting or sound equipment. For larger setups or those with additional electrical needs, a standard 20-amp, 120-volt circuit is usually sufficient, or we can discuss generator options.
What size stage do I need?
Solo speaker: 8×12 ft. Wedding party: 12×16 ft. Band: 16×24 ft. Operators help size based on your performers.
How much does a stage cost?
Most stages run $200–$500 for small risers, scaling to $1,500+ for large modular stages with skirts and stairs.
Are stairs included?
Yes — standard packages include stairs on at least one side. Add a second set or an ADA ramp at booking.
