Parade and market afternoon

Restroom and shower trailers in Washington
Locals and visitors call it Little Washington, and it serves as the seat of Rappahannock County in the Blue Ridge foothills. Tourism rather than industry drives the town economy, and the calendar centers on December, when Christmas in Little Washington brings a parade, children's activities and vendors for art, food and gifts. Because the whole municipal area is designated a historic district, deciding where a trailer sits matters as much as choosing the unit.
Parade and market times can change from year to year, so check the town's seasonal events page for the current schedule before locking in a delivery date.
Who to ask about permits in Washington
The Town of Washington Zoning Administrator publishes the zoning ordinance and the Zoning Permit Application and ARB Application forms. Section 4.3 makes it unlawful for travel trailers or temporary structures to serve as a dwelling, living quarters, storage facility or place of business; it does not mention portable restroom or shower trailers, so whether a rental unit counts is a question for that office. The ordinance designates the municipal boundaries as the Historic District, which adds review on top of the underlying zoning.
- Art. 5-9 asks new structures in the RR district to be screened from the Main and Gay Street core to the greatest extent possible; it does not address temporary trailers.
- The town page links the 2014-dated ordinance PDF, so later amendments should be confirmed with the office.

Permit rules and event dates change, so confirm current requirements with the office before you order. Water and power hookups are confirmed in your quote.
Who decides the site
The parade and market are run by volunteers, so the host lot decides the paperwork, and a trailer has to be sited and approved before the first vendors arrive. A lot inside the town goes to the Zoning Administrator, and Article 13.5.4 lets an owner hold a pre-application conference with the Architectural Review Board chairman and the Zoning Administrator, a step the ordinance says is meant to simplify and expedite formal review. A lot beyond the town limits falls outside the town ordinance altogether, and county rules would be a separate question.
Jobs and events near Washington
Theatre site on Gay Street
RAAC owns the theatre and is preparing a renovation and expansion. Nothing published says a temporary facility is planned there, so any trailer on that property would start with a conversation with RAAC as owner and the Zoning Administrator.
Any in-town lot, planned early
Because the whole municipal area is the Historic District, a short-term unit on a lot in town raises the Certificate of Appropriateness question before delivery. Lead time for the Zoning Administrator's answer belongs in the schedule.

Questions people ask before renting in Washington
Does a trailer in town need Architectural Review Board approval?
Article 13.5.1 requires a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Architectural Review Board before any building, fence, structure or sign is erected in the Historic District. The ordinance does not say whether a temporary trailer counts as a structure, so the Zoning Administrator is the office to ask.
Is there a published permit for the Christmas parade weekend?
The town's seasonal events page lists no special-event or street-closure permit for the parade. It names the volunteer organizers as the contact, so they are the place to ask whether and where a trailer is wanted.
Do floodplain rules affect where a trailer can go?
Article 12 sets Floodway, Approximated Floodplain and Shallow Flooding districts based on FEMA's Flood Insurance Study for the town. They overlay the normal zoning, and where the two conflict the stricter provision applies, so a low-lying lot needs a check first.
