Indiana State Fair and County Fair Shower Trailer Rentals: A Planning Guide
Campgrounds, barns, and vendor rows: placing showers where fair crowds actually are.
Key points
- The Indiana State Fair is held at the Indiana State Fairgrounds & Event Center, 1202 E. 38th St., Indianapolis.
- Exhibitors and vendors who stay on the grounds for days are the main shower users.
- Put showers where people sleep, and restrooms where they gather.
Fair season fills Indiana's calendar every summer, from county 4-H fairs to the Indiana State Fair at the Indiana State Fairgrounds & Event Center on East 38th Street in Indianapolis. Exhibitors who show livestock often stay on the grounds for days, and vendors and ride crews work from opening until long after dark. They are the people who need showers.
Where the trailers go
- Campground and exhibitor housing: a 20ft Shower Container (5 Individual Stalls) or a combo trailer close to campers, with lighting for late returns.
- Vendor and midway crews: a 13ft Luxury Shower-Restroom Combination Trailer (3 Individual Stalls) behind the food row keeps staff off the public restrooms.
- Crowds: restroom trailers near grandstands and barns, with an accessible unit in each cluster.
Utilities at a fairground
Most fairgrounds have hydrants and electrical pedestals, but they may sit far from where a trailer belongs. Measure the hose and cord runs, and ask about a water tank and pump-outs if the sewer tie-in is out of reach. Summer storms are common, so park on gravel or a firm pad, not the low corner of a grass lot.
