Which Jackson Festivals, Campuses and Venues Fit Large Attractions?
Jackson's calendar mixes downtown festivals, parades, three college campuses and a state fairgrounds. Each organizer, campus office and venue controls its own access, so confirm approvals first. Then call Greysons with your date, crowd size and site, and we will plan the equipment list.
The National Folk Festival holds a three-year residency in downtown Jackson from 2025 to 2027. The 2026 festival runs November 13 to 15, and its organizers describe attendance in the many thousands, which creates steady demand for family attractions and food service across downtown.
Hal's St. Paddy's Parade & Festival fills downtown each March, with the 43rd edition held March 28, 2026, and raises money for Children's of Mississippi. The Mississippi Book Festival takes over the grounds of the State Capitol each August, and the City of Jackson Christmas parade rolls down Capitol Street in the holiday season. The Mississippi State Fair at the fairgrounds sets the scale for midway work in the capital.
Jackson State University, Belhaven University and Millsaps College give the city three campus calendars. Jackson State adds HBCU homecoming weekends, so student-activities directors and chapter social chairs here plan large gatherings.

This was our second year booking with Greyson's Events and Entertainment, and we'll definitely be booking again for our annual team fundraising event. We rented a large dual slide water inflatable, dual slip and slide racing water inflatable, a large bounce house, and a dunk tank. They came out before the event to walk through the setup and discuss options, which was very helpful. On the day of the event, they were on time, efficient with setup, and available to answer any questions during the event. Their communication was quick, their service was professional, and the products were all well-maintained. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions: Event Rentals in Jackson, MS
Do you set up for downtown Jackson festivals like the National Folk Festival?
Quick answer
Full answer
Yes, with organizer approval. We supply rides, trains, mazes and concessions for large downtown Jackson festivals and similar crowd-scale events.
The National Folk Festival is in the middle of a three-year run in downtown Jackson, and its 2026 dates are November 13 to 15. Each event controls its own site and approvals, so confirm access with the organizer first. Then call (225) 436-6520 and we will match carnival and mechanical rides and concessions to your space.
Can you handle homecoming week at Jackson State?
Quick answer
Full answer
Yes. We supply carnival rides, obstacle courses, trackless trains and concessions for homecoming weekends and campus events at Jackson State.
Homecoming weekends fit carnival rides, trackless trains and obstacle courses well. Because Jackson is out of state, minimums are set for each event. We coordinate with your facilities or student-activities office on placement and approvals, and you can browse obstacle courses and trackless trains to plan the layout.
Will your setup damage the turf at Jackson State, Belhaven or Millsaps?
Quick answer
Full answer
No stakes are driven into turf. We anchor with water ballast and weights that meet manufacturer specification, pending university approval.
Universities commonly do not allow stakes in athletic turf and campus greens, so our weighted systems are built for those sites. We work with your facilities office, and we can provide a certificate of insurance naming the university as additional insured. See our insurance and campus compliance page.
Is there a carnival ride rental company near me in Jackson, MS?
Quick answer
Full answer
Not locally. We deliver carnival rides to Jackson from our Gonzales, Louisiana shop, about 150 miles away, for large events.
Greysons is a travel provider in Jackson rather than a local shop, which is why we focus on carnival rides, trackless trains and other big attractions.

What happens if it rains or the wind is high at a Jackson event?
Quick answer
Full answer
