Christmas carnivals in Rosemead.
A Christmas carnival is a carnival dressed for the holidays and run as the main event: booths striped in red-and-white or green-and-white, string lights overhead, candy-cane signs on the games, prizes, concession booths and Santa and Mrs. Claus waiting at a photo station. Christmas carnivals in Rosemead can fill a park, a school yard or a church lot, and Carnival Fun Experts brings the whole midway for the host's date.
Rosemead gives a host five parks to ask about, Rosemead Park, Garvey Park, Jay Imperial Park, Sally Tanner Park and Zapopan Park, plus campuses in Garvey School District, Rosemead School District and El Monte Union High School District. Whichever one is chosen, its office decides what dates are open.
Carnival Fun Experts sets up booths, lights, games, concessions and Santa and Mrs. Claus. The host supplies the date, the site approval and the crowd.
A holiday midway taking shape in Rosemead.
Walk in under the holiday balloon arch, trimmed with candy canes, peppermint balloons and gingerbread figures, and the midway opens ahead: red-and-white booths on one side, green-and-white on the other, each with a candy-cane game sign and a prize shelf. Overhead, warm string lights hang from booth to booth. Late in the afternoon, when the daylight drops, they carry the scene and the booths look their best.
Food comes from the concession booths, which serve churros, pretzels, popcorn, cotton candy, nachos, snow cones and caramel apples. At the end of the walkway Santa and Mrs. Claus sit at the photo-op station, and the walk-in snow globe inflatable offers a second picture spot, with nothing falling inside. Props carry a static snow-flocked finish. School yards can take the booths in a loop, and a park lawn can take a long row with the Santa station at one end.
