Tent Rentals in Oceanside
Oceanside tent rentals begin at $500 for a 20×20 high peak tent that seats about 33 guests, with crew setup and takedown included. The 20×30 is $750 and the 20×40 is $950 for bigger guest lists.
Under the California Fire Code, a tent over 400 sq ft generally needs an operational permit, though tents open on all sides can be exempt up to 700 sq ft with 12 ft of clearance. Our 20×20 sits right at 400 sq ft, so a 20×30 or 20×40 is the size to confirm with the city fire department.
- Delivery, setup and takedown handled by our crew
- Optional sidewalls with clear or cathedral windows
- Fire inspections: (760) 435-4101

Canopy Rentals in Oceanside
Our canopies in Oceanside range from a $70 10x10 to a 10x40, giving you shade without the footprint of a peak tent. A 10x20 covers about 16 seated guests.
Long, narrow canopies line up well along a sloped or tight yard where one big tent will not fit. If you want shade at a park or near the beach, read the Parks and Recreation special events rules and the posted beach and pier rules first, because what is allowed changes from site to site.
- Four lengths, from 10x10 to 10x40
- Carnival canopy and booth options for fairs

Linen Rentals for Banquet and Round Tables
Each floor-length tablecloth costs $25 and is cut for a 6ft banquet, an 8ft banquet or a 60-inch round. Cocktail tables take a fitted spandex cover for $20.
Floor-length cloths hide table legs and storage boxes underneath, which tidies up a buffet or gift table. Count one cloth per table and add a spare for the cake or sign-in table. Reserve linens two weeks or more before the event so we can hold the right sizes.

Yard Game Rentals in Oceanside
Yard game rentals in Oceanside cover giant Jenga, ring toss, Connect 4, cornhole and yard pong, priced from $40 to $100 per game. The $155 lawn game package groups several together.
Lawn games give guests something to do between food and toasts, and they work on grass, turf or a flat patio. Cornhole and yard pong suit adult crowds, while ring toss and Jenga are easy for kids. Book a month ahead, since games are among the first items to sell out on summer weekends.

Concession Machine Rentals in Oceanside
A popcorn, cotton candy or snow cone machine rents for $100 in Oceanside, and each includes supplies for 50 servings. Extra servings are sold in batches of 50.
Every machine needs its own 110V outlet, so count outlets before party day. If the yard is short on power, the generator with a 100ft extension cord fills the gap. Snow cones are the hot-weather favorite, and popcorn holds up best for an all-day event where guests snack on and off.

Carnival Game Rentals for Fundraisers and Festivals
Three carnival games are available: milk bottle bash and fish bowl toss at $110 each, and a ring toss at $125. Prizes are not part of the rental.
A set of all three gives a fundraiser or church festival a small midway that runs on volunteers instead of power. Space the booths a few feet apart so lines do not overlap. A carnival theme table for $20 works as a prize counter or ticket stand.

Event Lighting and Generator Rentals in Oceanside
Our generator rental in Oceanside is $100 for 3,900 running watts on gasoline, enough to run lights or a concession machine for up to 18 hours depending on load. String lights start at $30.
For evening parties, 25ft string lights trace a fence or tent edge, and 30ft globe strands with eight bulbs add a softer glow over a patio. On propane the generator drops to 3,500 watts. A 100ft extension cord, $20, lets you park the generator away from tables and conversation.

See what our customers say about us
We had the best experience with Tents & Things for our daughter’s first birthday! From the very beginning, they were so easy to work with, responsive, organized, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was perfect.
The rentals were beautiful, clean, and exactly what we envisioned. They arrived on time, set everything up seamlessly, and made the entire process completely stress-free. It was one less thing for us to worry about, which meant so much while planning a big event.
If you’re looking for a company that’s reliable, professional, and truly goes above and beyond, I can’t recommend Tents & Things enough.
Would highly recommend! Good communication both during ordering and day of. On-time delivery and pick-up, very professional.
I had a fantastic experience renting tables and chairs from Tents and Things for a backyard dinner party I hosted. Selvin was incredibly responsive throughout the process, and his prices—including delivery—were very reasonable.
The equipment was in perfect condition, and Selvin was punctual for both delivery and pickup. He went above and beyond by offering to set everything up for me and even brought extra chairs just in case I needed them. I highly recommend Tents and Things for your next event!
Great communication snow cone machine was clean , worked great and looked new . Highly recommended . Easy to pay
Great communication! Delivery & pickup went smoothly.
Planning a party in Oceanside: permits and park rules
Before you lock in a date in Oceanside, check two things: whether your tent size triggers a fire permit, and whether your location has rules of its own.
Fire permit for larger tents
The California Fire Code requires an operational permit for a tent over 400 sq ft. Tents open on all sides can be exempt up to 700 sq ft (including adjoining tents without 12 ft of separation), as long as they keep 12 ft from buildings and other tents. Our 20x20 is exactly 400 sq ft; a 20x30 or 20x40 may need a permit.
Oceanside Fire Department's Community Risk Reduction division handles operational permits and special event review. Fire inspections are scheduled at (760) 435-4101; call for current fees.
City parks and beaches
Oceanside Parks and Recreation runs a special events application process, and the city posts separate beach and pier rules. Check both before planning a tent, generator or amplified music at a park or the beach, because limits vary by location.
Measure the flat ground
A 20x20 tent needs a level 25x25 ft area, a 20x30 needs 30x40 ft and a 20x40 needs 30x45 ft. If your yard slopes, a row of canopies can work where one big tent will not. Our tent size calculator does the math.
Plan your power
Concession machines each need their own 110V outlet. Count your outlets before the party, or add the generator and a 100ft extension cord.
Popular events we set up
Graduation open houses
A 10x20 canopy, a table and chair bundle and a snow cone machine fit most driveways and keep a steady stream of guests fed and shaded.
Milestone birthdays
From a first birthday to a 50th, giant Connect 4 and cornhole give guests something to do while the grill heats up.
Backyard weddings and vow renewals
Resin ceremony chairs, a 20x30 or 20x40 high peak tent, floor-length linens and globe lights make a home reception feel finished.
Block parties and fundraisers
Carnival games, a popcorn machine and a carnival booth help a neighborhood or booster club raise money without much setup on your end.
