Went to a wedding reception recently that was at a barn - type venue. It was an actual barn on a farm converted to a “venue” and they just had 3 blue portapotties outside. Nobody was told ahead of time and everyone was in formal wear. That was fun, but I did survive.

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

It's confusing that they have permanent structures there, but not, you know, bathrooms.

My only complaint is that a lot of the portapotties did run out of toilet paper. They had disinfecting wipes available outside of the portapotty area and those at least didn't run out the day I was there. The PP's suggestion to bring toilet paper was a good one.

We weren't in costume.

For those of you who have gone to Rennfest, how bad is the bathroom situation? How do those in costume manage?


Bring your own TP b/c they run out. I’d carry a little thing of hand sanitizer too.

I mean, it's a bit unpleasant but I wouldn't go writing off entire events because of portajohns.

Into each life some port-o-potties must come.

We went on Saturday. The portapotties are hidden behind a wall, so I saw several moms holding open the door while their kids went. Neither my kids, nor I, had on costumes. Not sure what others did.
