Summer theater festival crowds
The Contemporary American Theater Festival performs in several Shepherd University venues each July, so intermission lines can outrun the permanent restrooms in the arts buildings.

Restroom and shower trailers in Shepherdstown
Shepherdstown pairs a small historic downtown with Shepherd University, and that mix fills the calendar with crowds that outgrow existing facilities. The Contemporary American Theater Festival draws audiences to campus each July, Ram Stadium holds a 5,000-seat football and lacrosse crowd, and one-day street festivals put artisans on German Street and food vendors on King Street. A trailer with several ADA stalls takes pressure off campus buildings and downtown businesses during those peaks, without relying on a shop's single bathroom.
Decide whether the event sits on town streets, the Town Square, the Community Club's park or Shepherd University grounds first, because each has a different approving party.
Permits and local rules in Shepherdstown
Special events on town streets, sidewalks or Town Square fall under Sections 8-801 through 8-810 of the Corporation of Shepherdstown Codified Ordinances. The application goes to the Office of the Town Administrator, and the form lists a 14-day deadline. Police, Planning, Fire, Public Works, the Town Manager and Town Council all review it. Events on the Town Square are limited to six hours including set-up and clean-up. Temporary structures such as tents, stages or inflatables should be checked with Planning for U&O requirements.
- Town Square events are capped at six hours including set-up and clean-up.
- Items left overnight must be listed on the application, and hazmat items attended constantly.
- Alcohol or food service may need extra approval from the ABCA or Health Department.

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.
Planning around the six-hour Town Square window
Downtown events in Shepherdstown work inside a tight envelope. The special events form caps Town Square events at six hours including both set-up and clean-up, so a trailer delivery, hookup and pick-up all have to fit inside that block or be negotiated in advance. The form also asks whether items will be left overnight, whether streets or intersections will be blocked, and whether Public Works will supply barricades, which means the trailer's location and route should be decided before the application is filed. Sidewalk-only events and street events are separate boxes on the form, and the application is due 14 days ahead, so a trailer reservation should be confirmed first.
Campus events and the July theater run
The Contemporary American Theater Festival is the biggest scheduled draw on Shepherd University's campus, with performances in the Frank Center for the Arts, the Marinoff Theater and a black box room. Season dates vary slightly from year to year, so confirm the current schedule with the festival. For overflow restrooms near those venues, placement on campus is a matter for the university, since the town's special events form covers town property. Ram Stadium, a 5,000-seat venue, is a separate campus site and would also need the university's sign-off for any trailer.
How Shepherdstown uses restroom and shower trailers
Street festival downtown
Street Fest places artisans on German Street and food vendors on King Street, where a trailer can add ADA capacity for crowds the street's businesses cannot absorb.
Park and club fundraisers
Morgan's Grove Park hosts Shepherdstown Community Club activities across 25 acres, and a rented restroom or shower unit suits a group that has to cover the grounds itself.

Renting near Shepherdstown: common questions
Do I need a town permit for a restroom trailer at a Shepherdstown street event?
If the event uses town streets, sidewalks or the Town Square, the special events application under Ordinance 8-801 et seq. applies. It asks about temporary structures, overnight items, street blockage and amplification, so a trailer should be listed on it. The form is submitted to the Office of the Town Administrator.
Is a trailer for a Town Square event limited by time?
Yes. The town's application notes that Town Square events are limited to six hours including set-up and clean-up. A trailer that is to stay on site beyond that window would need to be raised with the town before the application is filed.
Is Morgan's Grove Park run by the town or the county?
The Shepherdstown Community Club owns Morgan's Grove Park. The Jefferson County parks department leased it for 12 years and returned it to the club on November 1, 2019, so arrangements for the grounds go through the club.
