Festival of the Lakes 2025

100,000 Guests. Zero Sanitation Worries.

When the music is loud, the crowds are roaring, and the funnel cakes are flowing, the last thing anyone wants to think about is where to go when nature calls. But at the iconic Festival of the Lakes in Hammond, Indiana, none of the 100,000+ guests had to worry—because Service Sanitation showed up in full force. With a bold delivery of porta potties, hand sanitizer stands, ADA-compliant handicap restrooms, baby changer stations, handwash stations, and luxury restroom trailers for VIPs, we turned the phrase “portable restroom” into a seamless, stress-free experience for all.

Event Highlights

Big Names. Bigger Crowds.

This five-day celebration isn’t just any local festival—it’s a full-blown entertainment powerhouse. With a lineup that has several popular music artists, the Festival of the Lakes demands top-tier logistics to keep the good times rolling. From morning carnival rides to fireworks over Wolf Lake at night, 360-degree restroom solutions were required so guests could stay comfortable and clean, no matter where their day took them.

Festival Hygiene That Hits

This event was more than just porta potties though. Families appreciated our baby changer stations and Handicap restrooms, while VIP zones enjoyed upscale restroom trailers—because even rock stars and VIPs need their throne. Handwash stations and sanitizer stands were also strategically placed throughout the grounds, delivering hygiene without the hassle. It’s not just about convenience; it’s about creating a worry-free environment so festivalgoers can focus on fun.

Making Festivals Flow

At Service Sanitation, we do more than deliver equipment—we deliver peace of mind. From setup to tear-down, our team worked around the clock to ensure Festival of the Lakes flowed smoothly, literally and figuratively. Because great events don’t just happen—they’re built on bold logistics, smart planning, and a deep understanding of what people need when it matters most. And when the crowds return next year, so will we—ready to raise the bar even higher.
