Hire festival staff
in Santa Monica.
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 Santa Monica and the surrounding CA area with 100% W-2 talent, full insurance, and senior captains on every event. Santa Monica is the Westside's beach-meets-tech anchor — Silicon Beach offsites for Snap, Activision, and Riot Games, Third Street Promenade retail activations, and Pier-front festival sampling all share the same dispatch. We staff brand ambassadors and demo teams for tech product launches along the Olympic and Colorado corridors, beachside activations at the Annenberg Community Beach House and Pier, lead-capture and registration for corporate offsites at Loews and the Fairmont Miramar, and family-day production at Tongva Park. Our Santa Monica roster is built for the beach-day operational reality — uniform options for marine layer chill or coastal sun, captain-led shade rotations, and bilingual EN/ES talent for the broader LA Westside audience. All staff are 100% W-2 and AB-5 compliant.

Questions Santa Monica buyers ask about festival staff.
Does Showcraft staff festivals in Santa Monica 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 Santa Monica festival staff comfortable with long, weather-exposed shifts?+
Yes. Our Santa Monica 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 Santa Monica 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 Santa Monica festival staff W-2 and insured?+
Yes. Every festival staffer Showcraft sends to a Santa Monica 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.
