HAVE IT MADE IN THE SHADE
It's the block party within New York's Backyard Jam. It's the perfect place to bring your family and friends. You provide the 10' x 10' tent, we provide the space.

TENT CITY TICKETS GO ON SALE
(and will probably sell out)
on SATURDAY, APRIL 26.
HERE’S THE SCHEDULE.
APRIL 26 At VILLAGE HALL.
Tent City spaces are first come, first served, ONLY in person, ONLY on the second floor of Village Hall, 80 Wheeler Avenue in Pleasantville. Doors open at 8 am. Sale goes 8:15 to noon.
Doors open at 8 am. Sale goes 8:15 to noon. BUT LINE UP early.
FAIR WARNING: People line up early for this, well before doors open. Village Hall will stay open until noon or until spaces are sold out.
1 SPACE PER CUSTOMER
By popular demand, we’re limiting sales to 1 tent space per adult customer on line. That means more opportunities for more people. It also means that people farther back in line can know exactly how many spots are left.
MAINTAINING FAIRNESS
A representative of the Pleasantville Music Festival will be on site at Village Hall on April 26 to organize the process before doors open. You must be present. Friendly as we are, there is no “saving a spot.”
DO NOT START A SIGN-IN SHEET. IT WILL NOT BE RECOGNIZED OR USED BY ORGANIZERS. THE ORDER OF PURCHASERS WILL BE SOLELY DETERMINED BY THE FESTIVAL ORGANIZERS, BASED ON WHO IS PRESENT AT THE TIME THAT THE ORGANIZERS ARRIVE.
in THE OFF-CHANCE we don’t sell out on APRIL 26
After April 26, Tent City spaces will be on sale ONLY at our official Box Office at the Pleasantville Recreation Center, 48 Marble Avenue, Pleasantville. Box Office hours are 8 am to 4 pm, Monday through Friday.
TENT SPACE PRICES: $95 - $125
CASH, CHECK, VISA, OR MASTERCARD. ONE TENT SPACE MAX PER ADULT PRESENT.
US Currency only. If writing check, make out to Village of Pleasantville. Electronic payments such as Venmo or Zelle will not be accepted. To allow more individual purchasers, Tent City tickets are limited to 1 space per adult (18+) purchaser.
HERE ARE THE RULES, SO YOU KNOW IN ADVANCE:
TENT CITY TICKETS ARE FOR TENT SPACES ONLY. PURCHASERS MUST PROVIDE THEIR OWN 10' x 10' TENTS.
TENT CITY TICKETS ARE NOT ADMISSION TICKETS. You must have a Festival admission ticket to get into the event. You must have a Tent City ticket to bring your tent onto Festival grounds and take an assigned tent space. A Tent City ticket by itself will not admit you onto the Festival grounds. Festival admission tickets can be purchased through the Village or online at TicketWeb.

PLAN AHEAD
PLAN AHEAD: THE VILLAGE OF PLEASANTVILLE REQUIRES TENT WEIGHTS. To maintain field conditions and preserve our sprinkler system, tent spikes are not allowed. However, tent legs must be weighed down in case of wind. Purchasers are responsible for bringing 4 tent weights per tent, minimum 15 pounds per leg. Sidewalls, baffles, and lowering tent legs to less than 6 feet are not permitted because they can block sightline of other patrons. There will be water on hand where you can fill any empty water weights that you may bring. In the event of any unsafe wind, you must immediately comply with instructions to completely take your tent down and fold it up. Failure to comply will result in immediate expulsion from the Festival.
TENT CITY IS THE ONLY PLACE TO SET UP YOUR TENT. No tents will be allowed onto Parkway Field without a Tent City ticket.
FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE: EARLY DROP-OFF AND LATE PICK-UP. Avoid the hassle of bringing your tent at the same time as all of your other gear. Tent City ticket holders may drop off their tents, chairs, tables, and other non-food items on the Friday night before the Festival and then pick them on the Sunday morning after the Festival!
NOTE: This year we will have an overnight Security person staying at the field both on the night before the Festival and on the night after the Festival. Even so, neither the Festival nor the Village of Pleasantville will be responsible for any lost or stolen items.
IF YOU MISS OUT, YOU STILL HAVE GIANT OPTIONS:
IN ADDITION TO TENT CITY, WE WILL HAVE OUR POPULAR GIANT SHADE TENT in the back of the main field in front of the bleachers, just like we did last time. It's the one on the left in the photo above. There's plenty of space there, free with admission and first-come-first-serve on the day of the Festival. Our CHILL TENT behind it will also be available with seating for all Chill Tent Stage performances.
NO OTHER TENTS OF ANY SIZE, HALF-MOONS, OR UMBRELLAS WILL BE PERMITTED ON PARKWAY FIELD. Please leave them at home.
