Local tip for Richmond

If you're planning an event in a Richmond park like Forest Hill Park or Byrd Park, be sure to check with the Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities well in advance regarding permit requirements for tent installations. Some parks have specific rules about tent size and anchoring that are important to follow.

Richmond event seasons

Tent Rentals in Richmond — FAQ

Do I need a permit for a tent in a Richmond city park?

Yes, for most medium to large tents in city parks, a permit from Richmond Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities is required. It's best to apply several weeks in advance.

Can you set up a tent on asphalt or concrete at my venue?

Absolutely. We have appropriate anchoring systems for various surfaces, including asphalt and concrete. Please specify the surface type when booking for proper planning.

What if my event is near the James River and susceptible to high winds?

We monitor local weather closely. For riverside locations, we use extra secure anchoring and can advise on optimal tent placements to mitigate wind exposure, ensuring your event’s safety.

What size tent do I need?

Plan ~10 sq ft per guest for seated dining, ~6 sq ft for cocktail style. A 20×40 tent fits about 80 seated guests; a 40×60 fits around 240.

Do I need a permit?

Most cities require permits for tents over 400 sq ft or on public property. Our vetted operators handle permit guidance for your specific venue.

What if it rains?

All our tent operators carry weather contingency plans. Sidewalls and heating can usually be added up to 48 hours before your event.
