First decision
California's 2026 minimum wage is $16.90 per hour, and no Orange County city carries a general local ordinance above it (confirmed against the UC Berkeley Labor Center's inventory of local minimum wage ordinances), so the state floor governs most Anaheim event-staff pay.
Published references
Role references currently span $32–$73.50/hr. Each number below links to the city row that publishes it.
Worksite evidence
Bakersfield's downtown arena, theater, and convention floor are one city-owned complex at a single address, 1001 Truxtun Avenue, now operating as Dignity Health Arena, Theater and Convention Center; three rooms sharing one address means one dock grid and door assignments that have to be printed on the call sheet.
The Silver Dollar Fair runs May 21 to 25, 2026 at the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds (2357 Fair Street, Chico), a five-day run whose rentable buildings include a 14,000-square-foot Commercial Building and a 20,000-square-foot Education Building; the grounds also host the Silver Dollar Speedway dirt oval.
Gaylord Pacific Resort & Convention Center opened May 15, 2025 on the Chula Vista Bayfront with 1,600 guest rooms, four ballrooms, three levels of meeting space, more than ten restaurants, and a resort waterpark, the largest hotel and convention resort in California and the anchor of the bayfront redevelopment, fully operational through 2026.
