When I was on a tighter budget I found a great alternative for street
fairs. I got a gazebo which is basically the same idea as the EZ Up
tent or the Craft Canopy...namely, it's a metal frame with a
waterproof covering. I got it at Rite Aid, but you can find them at
Kmart, Walmart etc. It should run you about $30-40.

It is pretty easy to carry because it's small and pretty easy to
assemble, even for one person.

The drawback is that it is somewhat light; when there is high wind it
feels like the gazebo might lift off the ground. I usually bring 5
lb. dumbell weights and secure them to each leg; this keeps the gazebo
from taking flight but it still moves a little. If you are set up on
grass or dirt you can stake it to the ground (I set up on concrete or
asphalt so it doesn't work).

The size is 10' x 10' which is the average size of a booth space.

Hope tha
