corporate holiday parties in Gardena.
A corporate holiday party is a company's year-end gathering run as a carnival: booths and games, concessions, music, entertainers and a Santa station for staff with children. This page covers corporate holiday parties in Gardena, from a lunchtime event in a company lot to an after-work party at one of the city's community venues. Carnival Fun Experts supplies the entertainment, and the company supplies the food, tables and the guest list.
Gardena companies can hold the party on their own property or look at the venues listed for the city: Ken Nakaoka Community Center, Arthur Lee Johnson Memorial Park, Freeman Park, Mas Fukai Park and Paul Rowley Memorial Park. Space and dates are confirmed with the venue or the City of Gardena.
Carnival Fun Experts brings the booths, games, concessions, entertainers and Santa and Mrs. Claus to year-end parties across Los Angeles County.
A year-end company party in Gardena, carnival style.
Picture a company lot with a row of striped booths along one side, each running a game with prizes. Guests move between ring toss, hoop shot and balloon dart while a DJ or sound system keeps music going. A balloon artist or a face painter works the middle, and a caricature artist can draw staff while the guest watches.
Families join in when the company invites them, and that is the point where the Santa station and a few inflatables earn their space. Staff can bring children to sit with Santa and Mrs. Claus, while an adults-only evening can skip the station and put more weight on games and concessions. The company decides which version it is holding.

Common questions.
Can the party be adults only?
Yes. Skip the Santa station and inflatables, and spend on games, concessions, the DJ and entertainers such as magicians or caricature artists.

Do you serve meals or drinks?
No. Carnival Fun Experts brings the seven concessions only. The company handles catering and drinks, and the venue's rules decide how they are served.
Is a Santa station right for a staff party?
It fits when staff bring children. Santa and Mrs. Claus are booked inside the party, never alone, and families use their phones or the photographer.
What paperwork does Carnival Fun Experts provide?
Carnival Fun Experts provides the certificate of insurance or the paperwork a permit asks for. Permits themselves are filed by the host.
Can we hold it at a Gardena park?
