Reliable, weather-tested staff for festival season nationwide — Coachella, Stagecoach, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Bonnaroo, EDC, Art Basel and more.
The Bay Area is a three-anchor engine — Silicon Valley corporate campuses (Apple Park, Googleplex, Meta MPK, Nvidia Endeavor, Adobe HQ, Cisco, Salesforce) that drive quarterly all-hands and partner days, the SF Moscone / Chase Center conference axis (Dreamforce, RSA, GDC, JP Morgan Healthcare week), and the East Bay event corridor (Oakland Arena, Jack London Square, Lake Merritt). Our Bay Area roster runs roughly 50% bilingual or trilingual — strongest in Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Tagalog, and Hindi — matching actual South Bay and SF demographics. Tech HQ event teams, conference exhibitor programs, and SF agency producers are our anchor buyer. Single-captain dispatch across all nine Bay Area counties. 100% W-2, AB-5 and AB-2257 compliant.
Outside Lands at Golden Gate Park, BottleRock Napa, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, plus Shoreline Amphitheatre summer programming in Mountain View.

Questions Palo Alto buyers ask about festival staff.
Does Showcraft staff festivals in Palo Alto and San Jose & the Bay Area?+
Yes. We staff festivals throughout San Jose & the Bay Area — 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 Palo Alto festival staff comfortable with long, weather-exposed shifts?+
Yes. Our Palo Alto 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 Palo Alto festival booking?+
For peak festival season in San Jose & the Bay Area, 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 Palo Alto festival staff W-2 and insured?+
Yes. Every festival staffer Showcraft sends to a Palo Alto 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.
