Grafton: what to know before you rent
Grafton began as a Baltimore and Ohio Railroad junction on the Tygart Valley River, and its Main Street historic district still hosts the biggest crowds. The International Mother's Day Shrine draws visitors each May, the city's Memorial Day parade is billed as the longest-running in the country, and the Grafton Monster Festival fills downtown in mid-June. The Taylor County Fair takes over the fairgrounds in July, while Tygart Lake State Park, with its campground and cabins, sits just outside town.
Confirm the year's dates with the city and the fair association, since the parade and festival weekend and the fair have both shifted their schedules in recent years.

What Grafton sites rent trailers for
Fair week at the fairgrounds
The Taylor County Fair runs several days in July with carnival rides, track events, a show barn and concession stands, which adds up to long evenings of heavy restroom use.
Mother's Day and June events
The shrine's Mother's Day open house in May and the downtown Grafton Monster Festival in mid-June both bring visitors who spend hours outdoors around Main Street.
Planning for the Memorial Day weekend
Grafton's Memorial Day observance dates to 1867, and the parade is the centerpiece of a weekend that has included Friday night music downtown, carnival rides, a petting zoo and a fireworks show after a Saturday concert. The parade ends at Grafton National Cemetery, where children carry flowers and flags. The parade is run by volunteers who meet weekly at the City Council Chambers in the weeks before the holiday, which makes those meetings a practical place to learn where crowds will gather and where a trailer could sit without blocking the route.
Fair week at the Taylor County Fairgrounds
The Taylor County Fair is held at the fairgrounds in Grafton and has run for about four days in July, with a pageant, a lawnmower demolition derby, track events, an Old Show Barn stage and concession stands run by local Rotary and Lions groups. Evening programs bring families in at the same time, so restrooms near the midway, the barn and the stands see steady lines. A long-term rental covering setup through teardown week is a common way to handle a multi-day fair like this.

Who to ask about permits in Grafton
Parades in Grafton are handled by the Chief of Police. The city's parade application asks for filing at least 30 business days before the event, and it states that the permit does not cover streets and highways under the West Virginia Department of Highways, which need approval from the state. Because Main Street is the usual festival and parade corridor, a trailer for a street event is best raised with the city early. A published city rule for temporary trailers or special events was not found.
- City parade application goes to the Chief of Police.
- Allow not less than 30 business days before the parade date.
- State-highway streets need separate approval from the state.
Permit office: City of Grafton (Chief of Police for parades; Building and Development for other questions)
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.

Questions people ask before renting in Grafton
Does the Memorial Day parade permit cover a restroom trailer on Main Street?
The city's published form is a parade application filed with the Chief of Police, and it does not address trailers or portable facilities. A trailer on a street or lot should be cleared with the city in the same conversation, and any road under the state highway department needs that agency's approval.
When is Grafton busiest for event restrooms?
The main dates are the second Sunday in May for the Mother's Day Shrine, the weekend before and including Memorial Day for the Spirit of Grafton and parade, mid-June for the Monster Festival, and July for the Taylor County Fair. The fair and parade are the largest.
Can a trailer be placed at Tygart Lake State Park?
The park is run by West Virginia State Parks, so placement there would be arranged with the park office rather than the city. The park lists camping, cabins and a lodge, with the campground open spring through fall, weather permitting.
