I use this type of stake with my big tent while car camping.
I'll probably get some rebar stakes eventually.
If that isn't enough, then sand or snow stakes are probably the way to go.
Tent Spikes!!!. Can't go camping without 'em! (I know...lame).
It ain't sushi but I will be fishing!!!
Yup, my tent is expensive. The reason it was expensive is because it can withstand all sorts of weather. I've rode through an inland hurricane in it and been bone dry.
For the love of all things holy, get some of these stakes for your canopy/EZup or something similar. In '14 there was a fairly big storm that rolled in Sunday night and I saw EZups literally flying across GA.
On that note, in the 3 years I've been to EF it's always rained at least once. None of the times ruined anything. One year it was small sprinkles on and off during the day and the other 2 times there where storms on the last night after almost all the acts where over. Mobby had to cut out like 5 minutes early and that's the only time I saw anything get cut short.
Also on this note, we're right by the lake. Therefore weather can be all sorts of crazy or unpredictable. It's really hard forecasting for the area and any forecast more than a few days out is liable to change.
So just plan for rain no matter what. Bring a nice rain shell jacket or a couple cheap walmart panchos. Also bring a few extra pairs of socks and undies as well as an extra shirt or two with another pants options. I even bring a second pair of shoes just in case mine get soaked. I also always set aside a package for the ride home on Monday. Usually has new shirt, shorts, socks, undies, sandals, and a Monster. Sucks driving 7 hours home in dirty grungy/wet clothes especially after 4 days of pushing your body to the limit.
for low to mid price range....I love coleman tents for their waterproofness from the factory.
Some require sealing of the seams for complete waterproofness, but the last 2 I have owned havent. They have been thru some very severe rain storms and only ended up with few drops in the tents and that's after 15-20 uses. They are nothing fancy and only really good when its above 40 degrees, however for the price you cant go wrong.

That is our current one, got on an amazon/slickdeal sale for $79 shipped
The older one is 10.5x10.5' and paid about the same. The older one we have taken to multiple music festivals where dozens of tents were uprooted and blew away, ez ups snapped, etc from severe rain storms and it survived and was relatively dry inside each time.
Gotta get the 10" long, heavy duty tent stakes for whatever tent you get and severe storms.
