Avid festival attendees will appreciate Alien Buffalo's newest tent design, called the Buffalo Mini. The car tent is designed specifically for the unique necessities of outdoor festivals like Burning Man or any of the hundreds of music festivals that take place each summer.
The key to the efficacy of Alien Buffalo's Buffalo Mini is its combination of sturdiness and portability. According to Brian Newman, the lead designer at Alien Buffalo, there are very few options on the market to satisfy the unique use cases of a music festival. Those drive-in campsites require something small enough to fit in a normal car (i.e. not an SUV or truck,) yet sturdy enough to handle the trials of a weeklong festival. The Buffalo Mini is the solution to that problem.
