Hire festival staff
in Downtown LA.
Reliable, weather-tested staff for festival season nationwide — Coachella, Stagecoach, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Bonnaroo, EDC, Art Basel and more.
Los Angeles brand activations happen in three layers — Westside tech offsites (Santa Monica, Culver City, Playa Vista), DTLA stadium and convention activations (Crypto.com Arena, BMO Stadium, LA Convention Center), and Hollywood premiere / retail moments along Sunset and Rodeo Drive. Showcraft's LA event staffing roster runs 600+ deep with working actors, on-camera hosts, and roughly 45% bilingual EN/ES brand ambassadors who know how to read a Calabasas family day vs. a DTLA brand launch. Studio comms teams, agency producers, and CPG brand managers book us when they need staff who can hold a camera and a clipboard at the same time. 100% W-2, AB-5 and AB-2257 compliant.
Coachella, Stagecoach, BeachLife in Redondo, Rolling Loud, and FYF spillover — plus on-Strand festivals in Santa Monica and Hollywood Bowl summer programming.
Showcraft serves Downtown LA and the surrounding CA area with 100% W-2 talent, full insurance, and senior captains on every event.

We staff exhibitor booths and lead-capture for Convention Center shows, sponsor zones at Crypto.com Arena and BMO, brand activations along the Broadway and Spring Street corridors, and family-day production at Grand Park.

Questions Downtown LA buyers ask about festival staff.
Does Showcraft staff festivals in Downtown LA and Los Angeles?+
Yes. We staff festivals throughout Los Angeles — music, food, cultural, brand-activation festivals — with weather-tested staff who can handle multi-day shifts, sun and heat, and the chaos of festival ops. We also send seasoned captains who have run festival staffing before and know the load-in flow.
Are your Downtown LA festival staff comfortable with long, weather-exposed shifts?+
Yes. Our Downtown LA festival roster is filtered for stamina and weather tolerance — we surface only staff who have worked outdoor multi-day shifts before. Hydration breaks, shade rotations, and shift swaps are coordinated by an on-site Showcraft captain throughout the festival run.
How early do you need to know about a Downtown LA festival booking?+
For peak festival season in Los Angeles, 4-6 weeks is ideal. Standard fill for a 10-30 person crew is 2-3 weeks. We can rush-fill smaller crews in under a week with a surcharge. The earlier you lock the brief, the more we can pre-train on your sponsor activations and brand standards.
Are your Downtown LA festival staff W-2 and insured?+
Yes. Every festival staffer Showcraft sends to a Downtown LA booking is a W-2 employee with workers' comp, general liability, and auto coverage. COIs are issued naming the festival, venue, and sponsor as additional insureds. In California, our payroll is fully AB-5 / AB-2257 compliant.
