Why rent a marquee for your sports events and festivals?

Organizing a sports event or festival poses numerous challenges. Unpredictable weather, crowd management, creating distinct spaces, and ensuring participants' comfort are just a few aspects to consider. Renting a marquee proves to be an ideal solution to overcome these obstacles. Still in doubt? Discover why renting a marquee is a valuable asset for your sports events and festivals.

The benefits of renting a marquee for sports events and festivals

Protection against the elements

Outdoor sports events and festivals are particularly vulnerable to unpredictable weather. Whether it’s a football competition, a marathon, or a culinary festival, weather conditions can quickly become disruptive. Renting a marquee provides effective protection against the elements, whether it's scorching sun during a heatwave, rain, or even wind. This protection ensures not only the comfort of participants and spectators but also the safety of often expensive and sensitive equipment.

Creating distinct zones

Marquees are synonymous with flexibility and modularity, essential characteristics for any event. Take sports events, for example. Each has its specific needs in terms of space and configuration. Marquees can be installed to create rest areas for athletes, VIP spaces for special guests, sponsor stands, or food zones. The ability to customize the marquee layout optimizes space and ensures a pleasant experience for all participants.

The same logic applies to festivals. Whether they are musical, gastronomic, or cultural, festivals often require the creation of different spaces. Renting marquees makes it easy to create distinct areas for artists, food stands, rest zones, and entertainment spaces. Each tent symbolizes a specific space. This clear demarcation contributes to better event management and a more enjoyable experience for participants.

Flexibility in organization

Marquees offer great flexibility in terms of configuration and customization. Whether you need a large space for a concert or small tents for workshops and activities, Atawa has a solution for every need. Glass tents, silhouette tents, crystal tents, pagoda tents, reception tipis, or cathedral domes—what option will you choose? This flexibility significantly facilitates organization and allows the event to be tailored according to expectations and the number of participants.

Better participant experience

A successful festival or sports event largely depends on the participants' experience. Marquees offer sheltered and comfortable spaces where festival-goers can relax between activities, enjoy the shade, or seek protection from the rain. By improving their comfort, you also enhance their satisfaction and loyalty to your event. Additionally, marquees can be equipped with various amenities such as integrated lighting, sound systems, and even thematic decorations to enrich the festival atmosphere.

Always aiming to improve the comfort of participants and spectators, marquees can be fitted with various conveniences. For instance, they can include flooring to avoid mud in case of rain, heating or air conditioning systems to maintain a pleasant temperature, and furniture such as chairs, tables, and stages. These amenities help create a welcoming and functional environment, conducive to the optimal unfolding of the event.

Cost-effectiveness and practicality

Renting a marquee is also a cost-effective solution compared to purchasing a permanent structure, especially if your sports events and festivals are not frequent. No very costly investment is required, and you do not run the risk of the equipment being damaged during transport or storage

Visibility and branding

One additional advantage of renting a marquee for sports events and festivals is the ability to enhance the visibility and branding of your event or sponsors. Marquees can be customized with logos, banners, and specific colors representing the sponsors' brands or the event's themes. This visual personalization not only helps create a coherent ambiance but also attracts media and public attention, thereby increasing the event's and its partners' visibility.

Simplified logistics

Renting a marquee greatly simplifies the logistics of the event. Rental service providers like Atawa often offer complete packages that include delivery, installation, dismantling, and even maintenance during the event. This logistical support allows organizers to focus on other crucial aspects of the event, such as participant coordination, volunteer management, and media communication.

Enhanced security

Marquees offer a secure solution for outdoor events. They can be equipped with security features such as lockable zippers, reinforced walls, and lighting systems for nighttime events. Additionally, marquees can be securely anchored to withstand strong winds, minimizing accident risks and ensuring the safety of participants and equipment.

Crowd management

Marquees also play a crucial role in crowd management. They can be used to create organized queues, waiting areas, and information points for participants and spectators. By effectively structuring the space, marquees help prevent congestion and ensure a smooth and secure flow of people.

Choosing the right marquee for your event

Assessing specific needs

Before choosing a marquee, it’s essential to assess the specific needs of your event. 

Take the time to answer the following questions : 

• What is the size of the space needed ? 
• What type of configuration is required ? 
• Do you need distinct zones for different activities ?

By answering these questions, you can determine the dimensions and features of the marquee that will best suit your event.

Selecting customization options

Marquees can be customized to fully match the aesthetic and theme of your event. Atawa, for example, offers a wide range of tents, with transparent walls, integrated lighting, and various decoration options. You can choose from a variety of sizes, colors, and styles to create the perfect ambiance. This customization will add a unique touch to your event and enhance its visual and emotional impact.
