Harvest Party Rentals in Knoxville, TN
Late-October harvest nights in a church parking lot. Friendsgiving in a Farragut backyard. Cousins burning off pie on Thanksgiving Saturday. We bring the tents, heaters, generators and inflatables that make a cold-weather East Tennessee event actually work.
Locally owned since 2020, fully insured, 1,000+ 5-star reviews and 120+ rental items on the shelf. Most harvest events start with a tent and outdoor heaters — everything else builds from there.
Built for a Knoxville November, Not a Knoxville June
Here is the weather math nobody gives you when you pick a date: a normal East Tennessee November day tops out around 55–60°F, drops toward freezing overnight, and is fully dark by 5:30pm. That is not a reason to move indoors — it is a reason to plan differently than you would in July.
A tent traps the heat. Heaters under that tent turn a 50-degree evening into a 68-degree one. Lighting and a generator keep it all running after sunset, even in a gravel lot with no outlet within 300 feet. Get those three right and everything else just works.
We deliver across Knoxville and the surrounding towns — Farragut, Halls, Powell, Hardin Valley, Karns, Corryton, Maryville, Alcoa, Oak Ridge, Clinton and Seymour. Delivery is zoned and priced by distance, so the exact number is on your quote.
What to Rent for a Harvest Party or Thanksgiving Gathering
Eight things that carry a cold-weather outdoor event in East Tennessee — shelter and heat first, then the fun.
Tents
From $129
The most important rental on this page — a tent is your rain plan, your wind block and your heat container at once. We size them from a 40-guest Friendsgiving up to a full church harvest crowd.
Perfect for: parking-lot harvest nights, backyard Friendsgiving seating, cocoa and food-service areas
Tables, Chairs & Tents
Tables from $15 · Chairs from $3
Thanksgiving weekend becomes a “where does everyone sit” problem the minute out-of-town relatives arrive. Six-foot tables and folding chairs seat 40 in a backyard without borrowing a card table.
Perfect for: Friendsgiving dinners, church chili cook-offs, pie and dessert tables
Outdoor Heater
From $99 / day
This is the rental that decides whether people stay two hours or twenty minutes. Under a tent, patio heaters make a 50-degree evening comfortable enough that grandparents stay put.
Perfect for: November evening events, tented seating areas, check-in and cocoa lines
Bounce Houses
From $129
Dry units only this time of year — every water unit comes off the fleet once the nights get cold. With 24 bounce houses and 28 combos in stock, there is a dry one that fits your lot, gym or side yard.
Perfect for: church harvest nights, Thanksgiving-Saturday cousin energy, ages 3–12
Mechanical Bull
From $1,099 / 3 hrs
The headliner for a harvest festival or a grown-up Friendsgiving. Our operator runs every ride and keeps the line moving for three hours — delivery, setup, the inflatable safety surround and teardown included. Extra hours are $100. Needs about a 20×20 space and 8 feet of clearance.
Perfect for: church harvest festivals, fall festivals, Friendsgiving, company fall parties
Thanksgiving Bounce House
From $229
A 13×13 holiday-themed bounce house that keeps the cousins busy while the turkey finishes. About 15 feet tall, so it goes in the yard or a high-ceiling gym — dry unit, cold-weather friendly.
Perfect for: backyard Thanksgivings, Friendsgiving with kids, church harvest dinners
Interactive Games
From $139
Harvest events live or die on what teenagers and dads do while little kids bounce. Twenty-five interactive games — joust, wrecking ball, inflatable basketball — need almost no explaining to run.
Perfect for: middle and high school students, dad-versus-kid rematches, prize-ticket stations
Concessions
From $69
Hot cocoa is the correct November concession — it gives cold guests a reason to stay and a place to stand. Add popcorn and cotton candy and you have a line that runs all night.
Perfect for: hot cocoa bars, harvest-night snack tables, Friendsgiving dessert stations
Generators
Call for pricing
Church fields and back lots almost never have usable power, and a 100-foot cord from the fellowship hall is not a plan. Our 12 generators let a field event run the same blowers, lights and machines a gym event would.
Perfect for: field and parking-lot harvest events, hayride staging areas, remote farm venues
Outdoor Movie Screen
From $399
Dark at 5:30pm stops being a problem the moment it becomes the feature. A giant inflatable screen turns the back half of a harvest night into a blanket-and-cocoa movie.
Perfect for: harvest-night finales, Thanksgiving-weekend family movie nights, youth group lock-ins

How to Plan a November Outdoor Event in East Tennessee
Six things we tell every church coordinator and Friendsgiving host who calls us in the fall.
1. Book by the last week of September
The last weekend of October and the Saturday after Thanksgiving are two of the busiest dates on our calendar. Book at least 2 weeks out for any peak weekend, and by late September if your date is October 25 through November 2. Our average harvest order runs about $450.
2. A tent alone is not a heat plan
A tent with open sides in 48-degree air is just a roof, and people find that out at 6pm. Pair every tent with outdoor heaters, and plan on sidewalls if the forecast shows wind. Give us your headcount and we will tell you how many heaters it needs.
3. Solve power before you pick attractions
Every inflatable needs a continuous blower and concession machines pull real amperage. Walk your site and count outlets first — if you are in a field, a gravel lot or the back of the property, you need generators, not extension cords, and we carry 12 of them.
4. Dry inflatables only, and here is why
We pull water slides and dunk tanks well before harvest season. Wet vinyl in 40-degree air is a hypothermia and slip risk, and it cannot be dried and sanitized properly between rentals in the cold. Everything on this page is a dry unit.
5. Start the church paperwork now, not the week of
Vendor paperwork is the number one reason a church booking stalls. We are insured and can issue a certificate of insurance naming your church as additional insured, plus a W-9, and we accept purchase orders with net-30 terms. Ask for it when you reserve, not the week of.
6. Plan for dark at 5:30pm
Sunset in Knoxville during harvest season lands around 5:20–5:30pm, so a 4pm-to-7pm event is mostly a night event. Budget for lighting on every path, inflatable entrance and stairway — dark parking lots are where the ankle injuries happen. Put attractions where lot lights already reach.

Harvest & Thanksgiving Rental Questions
How far in advance should we book harvest party rentals?
Book at least 2 weeks out for any peak weekend, and by the last week of September if your date falls between October 25 and November 2 — the busiest stretch of the harvest season in Knoxville. Tents, heaters and generators sell out before inflatables do, and Thanksgiving weekend fills the same way.
What happens if it rains or the wind picks up on our event day?
We watch the forecast with you as your date gets close. Light rain is usually fine under a tent, but sustained winds above roughly 15–20 mph mean inflatables have to come down — a manufacturer safety rule, not a preference. If weather forces a change, we will reschedule you to another available date.
What does it take to reserve, and is the deposit refundable?
A $50 non-refundable deposit plus a signed contract holds your date and your equipment. It is non-refundable because it takes that gear off the calendar and turns away other bookings. The balance is due at delivery, and a weather reschedule carries your deposit to the new date.
Our harvest event is in a field with no power — can you still set up?
Yes — it is one of the most common calls we get in October. We keep 12 generators for field, farm and back-lot events with no outlet in reach. Tell us what you plan to run and we will spec the load before your event.
Can you provide a COI, a W-9, and accept a purchase order?
Yes to all three. We are fully insured and can issue a certificate of insurance naming your church or school as additional insured, provide a W-9, accept purchase orders, and offer net-30 terms for established accounts. Ask when you reserve and the paperwork goes out with your contract.
Do you rent water slides for harvest and Thanksgiving events?
No — we run dry inflatables only once the cold weather arrives, with no exceptions. Wet vinyl in 40-degree air is a real hypothermia and slip hazard for kids, and units cannot be dried and sanitized properly between rentals in the cold. Everything we deliver in harvest season is set up dry.
Can we set up inside our gym or fellowship hall instead?
Absolutely — plenty of Knoxville churches move indoors for the cold months. We need the ceiling height, the door width we have to get through, and an outlet within reach of each blower. Indoor setups use sandbags instead of stakes and skip heaters, generators and tents entirely.
Do you deliver to Maryville, Oak Ridge, Farragut and the rest of East Tennessee?
We deliver throughout Knoxville and the surrounding area, including Farragut, Halls, Powell, Hardin Valley, Karns, Corryton, Seymour, Maryville, Alcoa, Oak Ridge and Clinton. Delivery is zoned and priced by distance, so the exact charge for your address is on your quote up front. Not sure if you are in range? Call (865) 419-0090.
What is your cold-weather and rain policy?
We set up in the cold — tents, heaters, tables, chairs, games and the mechanical bull all run fine on a 35-degree night, and indoor setups are never affected by weather. What we will not do is put an inflatable on ice or snow or run it in freezing rain, because frozen vinyl and slick ground are not safe. Light rain is fine on most units. If ice, snow or a storm is in the forecast, call us by 8 AM on your event day and we will move your $50 deposit to a new date within 12 months. Sustained winds of 20 mph or more, or any lightning, mean inflatables come down for safety.
Can we rent the mechanical bull for a harvest festival or Friendsgiving?
Yes — it is the headliner at a lot of Knoxville church harvest festivals and fall parties. $1,099 covers three hours with our operator, delivery, setup, the inflatable safety surround and teardown; extra hours are $100. It needs about a 20×20 flat space and 8 feet of clearance, indoors or out.
What is the Winter Double-Up deal?
Book any bounce house or combo for a party between November 1 and February 28 and add a second standard bounce house for the same day and address for $100. Mention “Winter Double-Up” in your booking notes or text us at (865) 419-0090 and we apply it to your order. A $50 non-refundable deposit holds your date.
