From Bass Drops to Clean Stops

Over Labor Day weekend, the ARC Music Festival lit up Chicago’s Union Park with three days of house, electronic, and techno music, bringing fans together for an unforgettable experience. At Service Sanitation, we’re committed to empowering communities by providing safe and reliable sanitation solutions. To keep the good vibes flowing, we supplied portable restrooms, handwashing stations, and luxury restroom trailers to ensure attendees stayed comfortable all weekend long.

EVENT HIGHLIGHTS

Threading the Needle in Union Park

With thousands of fans dancing across multiple stages, tight pathways, and minimal setup zones, squeezing in essential amenities while keeping the festival’s flow uninterrupted isn’t just tricky—it’s a logistical ballet.

High Traffic, High Expectations

In a tightly packed venue, restrooms must be conveniently placed yet never obstruct the fest’s energy. We must orchestrate quick turnarounds for cleaning and waste removal, often in the midst of peak festival traffic, to keep up with relentless demand.

Timing is Everything

With Union Park’s tight set-up and non-stop schedule, there’s no room for error or delay. Our crews face a relentless timeline, often working odd hours to install, maintain, and remove equipment without disrupting performers, staff, or fans.

Arc Music Festival Porta Potty Tips

The ones farthest from the main stage, food vendors, or high-traffic areas typically stay cleaner longer.

Plan ahead, use the restroom before headliners, and have tissues or sanitizer ready so you don’t hold up the line.

Yes, but lighting can be limited. Use your phone flashlight to see clearly.

Don’t set down drinks, bags, or phones.

Yes—many festivals provide ADA-compliant units with wider doors, ramps, and more interior space.

The best times are early in the day, during sets, or before mealtimes. Avoid peak breaks when crowds rush at once.
