Need 50x50 shade structure - any leads appreciated!

Our 50x50 circus tent collapsed last year and our Street Life (Sesame Street meets Thug Life hip hop camp) is looking to replace it ASAP. Willing to buy an existing camp's spare structure or a brand new one. Please send any ideas! We would be grateful for any good leads :)

How much clear span do you need?
Edit to add:
If you can cut your open space into 10x10 blocks it would be fairly simple to make a Black Rock Hardware type shade but if you need 50' of clear space then good luck. Short of a dome or circus tent the only thing I have seen is 2 40' conex's with trusses between them.
20' span might be done safely with a Black Rock Hardware type if you replaced the crosspieces with double parallel 20' plumbing pipe and tied the members together in several spots. Unistrut maybe?
Just spitballing here.
Everyone is so politically fucked up that they're segregating themselves in the name of equal rights and liberation.
