FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How does event permitting work?
Due to the nature that each event is different and can vary in size, attendance, specifics, and scope, we ask that the event organizer, aka the purchaser of services that is in charge of organizing the event, acquire the necessary permits based on the events details.
The Beach Oasis is nothing more than an equipment rental company, and doesn't advertise itself as anything more.
For beach events, we are happy to direct you towards the LA County Beaches & Harbors Special Event Permit application process, in case you are interested in permitting your event.
