How Many Restrooms You Need for Your July 4th Party

Planning a 4th of July party in Indianapolis? Whether you’re hosting a backyard barbecue, a neighborhood block party, or a family gathering at a local park, there’s one detail that’s easy to overlook—but absolutely essential: restroom access. At Porta Palace Portable Restrooms, we’ve helped countless event hosts keep things running smoothly with clean, reliable portable restroom rentals. One of the most common questions we get? “How many units do I need?” Let’s break it down.

Start With the Guest Count

As a general rule of thumb, you’ll want one portable restroom for every 50 guests for an event lasting around four hours. If your party is longer—or if food and drinks (especially alcohol) are being served—you’ll want to increase that number to avoid lines, accidents, or an uncomfortable experience for your guests. For example:

• 50 guests for 4 hours = 1 restroom
• 100 guests for 4+ hours with food and drinks = 3 restrooms
• 150+ guests at an all-day event = 4–5 restrooms minimum, possibly more with ADA needs

If you’re not sure, use our event calculator tool to help you determine the ideal number of units based on your party’s size and duration. It’s a quick and easy way to avoid guesswork—and help your party go off without a hitch.

Don’t Forget the Extras

Along with basic restroom units, you might want to consider hand sanitizing stations, hand wash stations, or even a luxury restroom trailer if your event is a bit more formal. We also offer ADA-compliant units to ensure your celebration is accessible to all guests.
