Only portapotties at Rennfest?

B/c it’s not open all year round. If you install plumbing, you’d have to keep tabs on pipes that would freeze for example.

So I can understand why the don’t have bathrooms but they do a sh*tty job at keeping the portapotties emptied out.

The lines for them get longer too, as the day goes on and adults have been drinking beer and mead. So if you have younger children that can't hold it well the long lines can be a problem.
We took our children there a couple different times. Youngest was maybe 4, and they enjoyed it.

I'd piss myself before I'd use one.

I've seen a few folks doing this. It's definitely a thing.

Why were you lurking in the woods watching people pee?

Renaissance festivals are insufferably low class. I can't even.

Are they tacky?

Yes. There are 3 banks of bathrooms. One in the parking lot (only a few and use those as you are coming in before getting tickets) and two large banks inside. One by the front and one further in. They are fine and behind a wall. I’ve gone in in costume (corset and long skirt), 7 months pregnant, 1.5 year old and will go with my 2.5 year old this year. I manage fine.. I do bring my own packet of tissues and wipes and sanitizer as they run out towards the end of the day. But I now go from entry until about 1 pm so no issues then.
Also bring cash as there are atms but long lines for them.

Really? Butlers Orchard only had port a potties but I took my kids for the Halloween festivities every year and so did many others. Same with apple picking at another farm.

Yikes! You'd think that for a wedding they could splurge on a bathroom trailer.

Because of the curly fries.

SO low class. I've seen tattoos, piercings, fried food, alcohol, unbridled merriment. I've even seen people there with their car windows down. Never again. I can't even.
