corporate holiday parties in Downey.
A corporate holiday party with carnival entertainment is a company year-end celebration staged as a midway, with game booths, concession stands, a DJ or sound system, entertainers and a Santa station for the children of staff. Corporate holiday parties in Downey can run on a cleared company lot or at a public site such as Apollo Park or Wilderness Park, with the company confirming the date and space with the property or the city.
A Downey company can keep the party on its own site or ask the city about Apollo Park, Wilderness Park or the Downey Civic Center. The carnival is fitted to the headcount and the space the company confirms.
Booths, games, concession stands, entertainers, music and the Santa station come from Carnival Fun Experts. Meals, drinks, seating and the venue stay with the company.
The staff holiday party, planned around Downey sites.
A cleared lot can become a small fairground. Striped booths for ring toss, bottle ring and milk can toss run down one side, concession booths take the other, and a DJ or sound system sits where announcements carry across both. Face painters and caricature artists keep fixed spots, and balloon artists, jugglers, stilt walkers and walk-around magicians move through the crowd. When staff bring their children, the Santa and Mrs. Claus station gets its own corner under the holiday balloon arch, and a jumper or combo unit gives young guests a place to play.
An evening version drops the children's pieces and keeps the games, the DJ and the entertainers. The string lights matter more at that hour because December light fades early. The company arranges catering and drinks of any kind, seating, tents beyond the booths, heating, permits and other vendors. A certificate of insurance or the paperwork a permit asks for comes from Carnival Fun Experts, so a venue or the city has it before the date.
What's typically included.
-
Game booths.
The booths are striped 10x10 units that host the carnival games and hand out prizes. Two or three is a workable start, and a company can extend to a full row.
-
Concession stands.
Guests can order nachos, churros, caramel apples, popcorn, cotton candy, pretzels or snow cones at the booths.
-
DJ or sound system.
Carnival Fun Experts provides the music and announcements, so the company does not need a separate audio vendor.
-
Entertainers.
Walk-around magicians, jugglers, stilt walkers, balloon artists, face painters and caricature artists can be booked one at a time or together.
-
Santa station.
The Santa and Mrs. Claus pair sit at a photo-op station for staff families, with the holiday balloon arch behind the chairs.
-
Inflatables.
Families can be given jumpers, combo units or interactive inflatables on a separate patch of ground away from the game lane.
