Thousands of spectators await the upcoming spectacle in a Repurposed Party Tent on Hong Kong’s central waterfront.
These aluminum-framed structures tents, originally designed for corporate events, were efficiently transformed into the Magic Festival’s central venue within just 36 hours of being transported from warehouse to completion. The tent’s modular design enables rapid deployment in urban spaces.
Colorful Magic Festival Performance Hall – Party tent
The cost-effectiveness of second-hand party tents has significantly freed up financial resources for artistic endeavors. According to estimates by the Magic Festival organizers, using these pre-owned structures saves approximately 58% compared to leasing commercial venues. This cost reduction allows for a 30% increase in investment in special effects equipment.
The disassembly wall design facilitates multi-purpose space utilization, serving as a prop workshop during the day and transforming into a main stage that accommodates 1,200 people at night.
Large-span reusable second-hand party tents
The high-strength aluminum alloy frame can support up to 4 tons of lighting equipment. At the same time, the tarpaulin offers wind resistance exceeding level 8, ensuring the safety of open-air performances along Victoria Harbor.
During last year’s typhoon season, the Magic Festival tent remained stable under level 7 wind pressure, maintaining internal humidity levels within the safety threshold required for performance equipment.
The 40-meter-span column-free space achieves 92% ground utilization, providing an ideal platform for large-scale suspension installations.
The flexible tent canopy units can be configured to meet diverse needs, from street flash mobs to mass performances. Over 95% of the disassembled components are fully recoverable, and 80% of the basic materials are stored for future events.
These figures reflect a sustainable model of art production. As the magician bows amidst the light and shadow cast by the recycled tarpaulin, the second-hand party tent exemplifies creative freedom supported by industrial logic.
It achieves calculable costs, reusable structures, and renewable materials while continuing to write the magical chapter of urban culture.

Festive Scenes Refresh The Secret
After the magic show tent is retired, it can be easily transformed into a holiday party space.
In some previous cases, 83% of second-hand tents were converted into themed scenes such as Halloween haunted houses and Christmas market stalls.
A circus transformed an obsolete 10×20m tour tent into a New Year’s Eve party space.
Transform in three steps:
Structural strengthening: check the rigidity of aluminum, keep the original frame quick disassembly system;
Tarpaulin replacement: customized new PVC canopy large, suitable for different festival themes such as Spring Festival/Mid-Autumn Festival;
Interior upgrade: use the old circuit layout, replace the new light effect color;
Especially in the transformation of the Halloween scene, the original magic camera obscura structure becomes a natural terror house partition, and the transparent tarpaulin can create immersive sound effects.
