Michigan's outdoor event season is highly concentrated. Here is our recommended timeline to secure inventory during peak months.
June - Aug. Book 4-6 weeks in advance. This is peak wedding and festival season in Detroit. Luxury trailers and standard event units sell out fast.
Sept - Nov. Book 2-3 weeks in advance. Tailgates and autumn festivals keep demand high before the snow hits.
Dec - March. Book 1-2 weeks in advance. Event inventory is open, but winterized construction units require specialized prep.
