corporate holiday parties in Artesia.
A corporate holiday party with carnival entertainment turns an end-of-year gathering into a midway day: booths with games, snack stands, a DJ, a few entertainers and a Santa station for staff with kids. This guide to corporate holiday parties in Artesia covers where the party can be held, what Carnival Fun Experts brings and which parts the company covers itself.
A company in Artesia can use its own lot or ask the city about a public site. Artesia Park, AJ Padelford Park and Baber Park can host an event, as can the Albert O. Little Community Center, subject to the city's approval of the date. Employees with children in ABC Unified School District will want a party date that fits around the winter break.
Carnival Fun Experts supplies the midway and the entertainment. The company arranges catering, drinks, seating and permits.
A corporate holiday party in Artesia.
The family version happens in daylight. Guests wander a loop of striped booths, kids line up for Santa and Mrs. Claus, a face painter works one table and a DJ keeps the music going over the sound system. Inflatables join if the guest list includes small children. The after-work version drops the bounce houses and keeps games, snacks and a walk-around magician, which suits a crowd that comes straight from the office.
Nobody has to book everything on the list. Entertainers come from the list of face painters, balloon artists, caricature artists, jugglers, stilt walkers and walk-around magicians, and a planner can choose two or three that suit the crowd. A caricature artist can set up beside the games, and jugglers and stilt walkers draw people toward the midway from across the lot.

Common questions.
Can a party run in a parking lot?
Yes. A company lot can host a booth loop or an L-shaped layout, and the company checks with its property manager that carnival equipment and visiting families are allowed. Parking for the event itself is the company's to plan.
Is a family party better than an after-work party?
Neither is better. The family version adds Santa and inflatables, and the after-work version keeps games, music and snacks for adults.
What does the deposit do?
A 50% deposit holds the date. Once the booth count, the entertainers and the Santa station are settled and the site is confirmed, Carnival Fun Experts provides the certificate of insurance the site needs.
Do you provide a meal?
No. Carnival Fun Experts runs the seven concessions. A meal and drinks are the company's to arrange with a caterer.
How early should the party start in December?
Daylight ends in the late afternoon, so a party that starts at noon or one o'clock gets the booths and the Santa station in good light, and the string lights take over as the sun goes down. An after-work party can start at dusk and lean on the lights from the first minute.
Who handles heating on a cold evening?
The company. Heating is the host's job, along with tables, chairs and tents beyond the booths.
