Hattiesburg, MS Party Rental Company
Hattiesburg, the Hub City, sits close enough that Greysons treats it like a regular market, not a special trip. HUBFEST fills downtown every March, Southern Miss homecoming brings out the Pride of Mississippi, and both get the same carnival rides, games, and staffed attractions.
William Carey and USM's Greek Week, philanthropy fundraisers, and spring fling draw on the same fleet. At about two hours up I-59 out of our Metairie shop, we can move fast, with none of the long-haul minimums our farther Alabama markets carry.
What Makes Hattiesburg Different
Downtown Hattiesburg centers on Town Square Park, the Saenger Theater, and the Hattiesburg Arts Council Gallery, all within walking distance of each other. On the Southern Miss campus, Shoemaker Square and the Southern Station amphitheater anchor student life and campus-wide events.
FestivalSouth takes over the city each June with weeks of music, dance, visual art, theater, literature, and film, spanning performances across the USM campus and FestivalArt exhibitions throughout downtown. HUBFEST follows every March with four stages and more than 250 vendors filling downtown streets and parks.

Our Full Rental Catalog
Twenty-one rental categories make up everything Greysons rents across the Gulf South. Each one covers a different kind of event, and each has its own sizing, setup, and pricing detail on its own page.
Getting Equipment to the Hub City
Because Hattiesburg is only about two hours out of Metairie, we book it more like a local market than an out-of-state trip. Larger events still do better with advance scheduling, especially during homecoming week and festival season, but Hattiesburg doesn't carry the same minimum order that our farther Alabama markets do.
Our crew stages equipment early and handles setup and teardown around your event schedule. Call (504) 350-0055 for current lead-time guidance on your date.
Campus Compliance & Insurance
- A certificate of insurance is ready for Southern Miss, William Carey, or your organization, with additional-insured status included.
- USM and William Carey procurement offices can request our W-9 and vendor registration paperwork directly.
- Approved campus accounts can pay by purchase order or net terms, and we handle tax-exempt paperwork too.
- SIOTOS inflatable-safety training covers every operator we send to a Hattiesburg event.
- No stakes touch campus turf or athletic surfaces here; water ballast and weighted anchoring do the job instead.
- Greysons has been part of the Hattiesburg market since 2018.
The Proximity Advantage
A two-hour drive changes everything about how we price and schedule a Hattiesburg booking, compared to the longer hauls into Alabama. Our College Event Rentals in South Mississippi page lists Starkville alongside this market, and our SEC Gameday & Tailgate Event Rentals page covers the football-weekend side of both towns.

The Questions Hattiesburg Keeps Asking
How quickly can you get to Hattiesburg out of the New Orleans area?
That short drive means faster scheduling and none of the special-trip minimums our farther Alabama markets carry. See our College Event Rentals in South Mississippi page for more on how we cover this region.
Can Greysons handle the full lineup for a Southern Miss homecoming weekend?
We coordinate directly with student organizations and campus offices on timing and setup. Southern Miss homecoming week fills our calendar fast, so an early call helps.
Can you provide vendor-zone equipment for HUBFEST or FestivalSouth?
Both festivals draw large downtown crowds across multiple days, so we plan crew and equipment well in advance. Book early if your event falls during either festival's peak weekend.
Do you anchor equipment without staking into campus turf?
Both USM and William Carey restrict staking on certain athletic fields and campus greens. See our Campus Compliance & Insurance section above for our full anchoring policy.
Is there a minimum equipment order for a Hattiesburg event?
Larger festival and homecoming bookings still do better with advance scheduling. Call (504) 350-0055 for current guidance on your specific event.
