corporate holiday parties in Carson.
A corporate holiday party with carnival entertainment lets a company hold its year-end event on a midway of striped booths, prize games, snack stands, a DJ, entertainers and a Santa station for employees' children. This page on corporate holiday parties in Carson covers the two formats, the places a party could be held and where Carnival Fun Experts's work stops and the company's begins.
A Carson company can use its own office campus lot, or ask the city about Carson Park, Veterans Park, Mills Park, Anderson Park or Del Amo Park, each of which can host an event once the date is approved. Employees with children in the Los Angeles Unified School District may want the party near winter break.
Carnival Fun Experts brings the midway, the music and Santa. The company covers the meal, the drinks, the seating and the permits.
Two ways to run a company holiday party in Carson.
A family-day party plays like a daytime carnival. Striped booths curve around the lot, a DJ runs music from a sound system, a face painter and balloon artist work near the entrance, and Santa and Mrs. Claus pose with staff families under an arch. If small children are invited, a bounce house or combo unit joins. An after-work party drops the bounce houses and the Santa line, and leans on games, snacks, music and a walk-around magician.
Nobody books the whole entertainer list. Face painters, balloon artists, caricature artists, jugglers, stilt walkers and walk-around magicians are all on it, and a planner picks the few that suit the people coming. A campus lot fits a compact loop, a park path fits a long row. Carnival Fun Experts sets the number of booths and stands once it has the headcount and has seen the site.

Specifics for Carson.
- Site choices: A company lot is one option. Carson Park, Veterans Park, Mills Park, Anderson Park and Del Amo Park can host an event with city approval.
- Cost by crowd: For about 100 to 150 people the range is $4,000 to $10,000. For 200 to 400 people it is $10,000 to $25,000, and a larger company pays $25,000 to $40,000 or more.
- Company's share: Catering, drinks of any kind, tables and chairs, tents beyond our booths, heating, permits and other vendors.
- Insurance paperwork: Carnival Fun Experts provides the certificate of insurance that property managers and cities ask for.
- Electricity: Lights and concession machines draw on site power, and Carnival Fun Experts runs a generator for its own equipment if the site falls short.
- Daylight: December daylight fades in the late afternoon, so an after-work party relies on the booth lights from the start.

Common questions.
Is a parking lot at our office enough?
It can be, when the lot has room for a loop or an L of booths. The company checks with its property manager that carnival equipment and guests are allowed, and plans parking for the day.
Can a city park host a company party?
The parks above can host an event, and the company takes the date to the city. Carnival Fun Experts supplies the paperwork a permit asks for.
How is the booth count chosen?
From the headcount and the space. A party of 100 to 150 uses fewer booths than one of 300, and Carnival Fun Experts sets the number after hearing both.
Who handles dinner?
A caterer the company hires, who also brings the drinks. Carnival Fun Experts runs the seven concession stands, so the meal is a separate piece of the plan.
Can an adults-only party leave out Santa?
Yes. The Santa station and the inflatables are optional, and games, music, snacks, a caricature artist and a magician fill the event for an all-adult guest list.
What holds the date?
A 50% deposit holds it, and Carnival Fun Experts provides the certificate of insurance once the site is confirmed.
