200-person beer festival: porta potty count for 8 hours?

Priya N.asked 0 viewsHow Many UnitsUnits per person guidelineSpecial event permitEvent planningAlcohol eventsAda units

I'm organizing a downtown beer festival for 200 people next year, running for 8 hours on a Saturday. We'll have multiple food trucks and heavy alcohol consumption (beer and cider). The event is in a city park on grass, with truck access along a paved path about 20 feet away. I'm considering a mix of standard portable toilets and at least one ADA-compliant unit, but I'm unsure about the total count. Should I also look into a restroom trailer for higher capacity? How does the alcohol factor change the math compared to a regular event?

Rent a minimum of six standard portable toilets and one ADA-compliant unit for a 200-person, 8-hour beer festival. The alcohol and food service require more units than a regular event. Event guidelines suggest one unit per 50 to 75 people for four hours. Your event is longer with heavy drinking, so you need more units. The ADA Standards require one accessible unit per cluster, so include that. Add a handwash station for health. A restroom trailer offers higher capacity and flushing toilets but needs a generator, level ground, and water hookup. It costs more to rent and service. Servicing depends on use. For one day, you might not need mid-event service, but confirm with the rental company. Place units on level ground near the paved path for truck access. More units and frequent service increase cost, but prevent long lines and complaints.
