Christmas carnivals in Redondo Beach.
A Christmas carnival is a carnival styled as the holiday event itself: striped booths in red-and-white and green-and-white, warm string lights, candy-cane signs on every game, prizes, concessions and a Santa photo station. This page covers Christmas carnivals in Redondo Beach, from a neighborhood block party to a company celebration, and sets out what Carnival Fun Experts puts on the ground and what the host arranges.
Redondo Beach hosts planning a December carnival have a list of parks to ask about: Veterans Park, Dominguez Park, Aviation Park, Perry Park and Hopkins Wilderness Park. Schools in Redondo Beach Unified School District, church lots and homeowner associations add more places to hold one, and each site has its own person to call.
Carnival Fun Experts supplies booths, lights, games, concessions and Santa and Mrs. Claus. The host supplies the site, the date and the guests.
A Christmas carnival laid out in Redondo Beach.
The entrance carries the holiday balloon arch, trimmed with candy canes, peppermint balloons and gingerbread figures. Beyond it stand the striped booths, each hosting a carnival game in a candy-cane skin, with prizes on display. Warm string lights overhead take over from daylight once the afternoon fades, which is the point in the day when the booths look the way the photographs do. Concession booths serve churros, pretzels, popcorn, cotton candy, nachos, snow cones and caramel apples.
The Santa station is where the evening settles. Santa and Mrs. Claus sit at the photo-op station, a walk-in snow globe inflatable offers a second photo spot, and nothing falls inside the globe. Snow-flocked trim gives the props a static frosted finish. A park lawn can take the booths in a horseshoe, and a lot or a church courtyard can take them in a single row or an L, so the layout follows the ground the host has reserved.
What's typically included.
-
Striped booths and lights.
Red-and-white and green-and-white booths in 10x10 and 5x5 sizes, strung with warm lights and dressed with candy-cane signs.
-
Games and prizes.
Ring toss, milk can toss, balloon dart, hoop shot and more, in candy-cane skins, with prizes for players.
-
Holiday balloon arch.
Candy canes, peppermint and gingerbread at the entrance, doubling as a backdrop for family pictures.
-
Seven concessions.
Churros, pretzels, popcorn, cotton candy, nachos, snow cones and caramel apples, run from machine booths.
-
Snow globe prop and flocked trim.
A walk-in snow globe inflatable and a static snow-flocked finish on trim and props. Neither drops anything.
-
Santa and Mrs. Claus.
Carnival Fun Experts provides both at the photo-op station, so the host has no Santa to book.

Specifics for Redondo Beach.
- Park choices: Veterans Park, Dominguez Park, Aviation Park and Perry Park can host a carnival. The host confirms space and dates with the city before paying a deposit.
- Hopkins Wilderness Park: Hopkins Wilderness Park can host an event too. The host asks the city what its grounds allow, including where equipment may be set.
- School carnivals: A campus in Redondo Beach Unified School District can hold a carnival in the weeks before winter break, with the school confirming the date and space.
- Evening light: December days end in the late afternoon, so a start time that lets the string lights do the work suits the look of the booths.
- Power: Carnival Fun Experts brings generators to run our own equipment when venue power falls short.
- Host handles: Tables, chairs, tents beyond our booths, heating, drinks, catering and other vendors belong to the host.

Common questions.
How much does a Christmas carnival cost?
Neighborhood or HOA events run about $4,000 to $10,000. A company party is about $10,000 to $25,000, and a large multi-department event is $25,000 to $40,000 or more. Church events start from about $2,000, and the smallest custom event begins around $1,500.
Does the carnival include Santa?
Yes. Carnival Fun Experts provides Santa and Mrs. Claus for the photo-op station. Families can use their own phones, or the host can add the photographer Carnival Fun Experts offers.
Can a homeowners association book one?
Yes. An HOA can book a carnival for a common area or an adjacent lot once the board approves the date. The neighborhood band is about $4,000 to $10,000.
Do you provide a tree for a tree lighting?
No. Christmas trees are the host's. If the host runs a tree lighting, the carnival can run beside it.
Is anything falling inside the snow globe?
No. It is an inflatable photo prop that guests walk into, and the snow-flocked décor is a static finish.
Who handles heating after dark?
The host or the venue. Carnival Fun Experts does not provide heating, and the same goes for tables, chairs and tents beyond our booths.
