Call (888) 385-5513Clifton Day, the Main Street festival held each October, and the late-October Haunted Trail at Floodplain Park both bring crowds that make event restroom trailer rental near Clifton worth planning early. Expect a drive of about 1 hour 30 minutes from Maryland. Short-term and long-term rental or leasing are both offered, ADA stalls with a ramp are available, and urgent needs are accepted day or night.

Clifton is an incorporated town in southwestern Fairfax County, built around a former Orange and Alexandria Railroad stop and declared a national historic district in 1984. Its public life centers on Main Street, the town parks and the Community Hall on Chapel Road. Each October the Clifton Day festival fills Main Street with vendors and visitors for a single day, and a Halloween trail runs at Floodplain Park, so portable restrooms and showers are most relevant to those outdoor weekends and to hall or park rentals.
Confirm first that the site is within the town limits using the county District field, then ask the Town Clerk which approvals apply before settling on a placement.

Clifton Day takes over the historic village for one day, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., on the Sunday before Columbus Day. The festival lists around 150 artisans, antique dealers and other vendors, plus food booths, live music, pony rides and a kids' area, and the town's history page says crowds have reached as many as 15,000 people. A third-party listing reports that the Virginia Railway Express stops in town only on that day. With that many visitors spread across one eight-hour window, restroom demand arrives all at once rather than building gradually, which is the main planning point for any trailer supporting the event.
Beyond the festival, the town lists Harris Park on Main Street, Chapel Road Park, Eight Acre Park on Chapel Street, Flood Plain Park and Nature Trail, and Webb Sanctuary among its green spaces. Use of public green space by groups of ten or more requires a reservation, and the Community Hall and Harris Park each have their own rental contact and forms on the town site. A hall rental, a park party or a reunion in these spaces is where a self-contained restroom or shower trailer adds capacity without relying on the building.
The festival runs 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with about 150 vendors, food booths, live music and a kids' area, so a full day of foot traffic along Main Street.
The Haunted Trail ran 5 to 9 p.m. on October 25 in 2025, with volunteers directing parking, which suits a restroom trailer at the park edge.
Private events at the Community Hall or Harris Park go through the town's rental forms, and a trailer can add capacity beyond what a rented space offers.
Clifton runs its own zoning, and Town Council issues use permits through the Town Clerk, so a site inside the town starts there. Fairfax County then handles building and electrical permits and, for tents over 900 square feet or 50 or more people, a Fire Marshal permit that requires local zoning approval first. Portable toilets are a Fairfax County Health Department matter. The Town Clerk is the first office to contact for a placement inside the town.

It is usually held on the Sunday before Columbus Day, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and is run by the Clifton Betterment Association. The 2026 edition has already passed, so the next one follows the same October pattern. The town's history page notes it has drawn as many as 15,000 visitors.
It is an annual event at Clifton Floodplain Park, reached from Main Street or Newman Road. The 2025 edition ran on Saturday, October 25, from 5 to 9 p.m., with Northern Virginia Conservation Trust volunteers directing parking. Check the event listing for the next date.
The town's FAQ says to look up the property on the Fairfax County real estate site and check for 'Springfield Town of Clifton' in the District field. A property outside the town falls under county zoning rather than the town's.
