The countdown is on! May Long Weekend 2024 (May 17–20) is right around the corner, and if you’re in Winnipeg, you already know what that means—it’s the unofficial kickoff to summer.
After a long Prairie winter, it’s finally time to enjoy some sunshine, fire up the BBQ, and spend time outdoors with family and friends. Whether you’re planning a casual get-together or a full-on backyard bash, one thing is for sure: tent rentals can take your celebration to the next level.
At Flatland Equipment, we make it easy and affordable to host your own May Long yard party. Our 10×10 and 10×20 pop-up tents are perfect for Winnipeg’s unpredictable spring weather, and you can pick them up for the entire weekend—along with extras like tables, chairs, side walls, and fun add-ons like yard games.
Why Tent Rentals Are a Must for May Long Weekend
The Victoria Day Long Weekend (May 17–20, 2024) is the first real chance of the year to throw an outdoor event without bundling up. Across Winnipeg and surrounding areas, you’ll see:
- Backyard BBQs
- Graduation parties
- Neighbourhood gatherings
- Family reunions
- Birthday bashes
- Cottage hangouts
And let’s not forget—Manitoba weather is full of surprises. One moment it’s sunny, and the next it could be windy or rainy. Having a tent on standby gives you peace of mind and keeps the party going, no matter what the weather throws at you.

Benefits of Renting a Tent for Your May Long Party
✅ Protection from Sun or Rain
With a tent rental, you’re ready for anything. Whether it’s strong sun or a surprise spring shower, a tent keeps your guests comfortable and your food table dry.
🎉 Create a Central Party Hub
Tents help define your event space—great for seating areas, food stations, or even a game zone. Add some lights and music, and your yard becomes the perfect party setting.
🪑 Easy Setup and Clean-Up
With folding tables and chairs, garbage bins, and shade or shelter, your setup is ready in minutes—and cleanup is a breeze.
💰 Save by Picking Up
Self-pickup lets you save on delivery costs. Pick up Friday, return Monday—done! (And yes, we’ll help load it into your vehicle.)
Pro Tips for the Perfect May Long Yard Party
🥩 Keep the Menu Simple:
Stick with crowd-pleasers like burgers, hot dogs, salads, and grilled veggies. You can use one of our tables for a food station and keep drinks cool in the shade.
🪑 Make Sure Everyone Has a Seat:
Don’t underestimate how many people will stop by! Ask us about additional chairs and tables when you call.
🎯 Add Fun with Yard Games:
Giant Jenga, Cornhole, Ladder Toss—fun for all ages and a great way to keep guests engaged.
💡 Don’t Forget Lighting:
Planning to party into the evening? Add string lights or lanterns to create that cozy evening vibe under your tent.
🗑️ Keep it Clean:
Our garbage & recycling bin rentals help you stay organized and environmentally friendly. Put one near the food area and one near the exit!
