Christmas carnivals in Beaumont.
A Christmas carnival is a December event where the carnival itself is the celebration: striped red-and-white and green-and-white booths under warm string lights, games and prizes, a holiday balloon arch, and Santa and Mrs. Claus at a photo-op station. The Carnival Fun Experts builds Christmas carnivals in Beaumont for HOAs, churches, schools, and city and community groups, and the sections below cover the layout, the local sites and the cost.
Beaumont sits inland, where December evenings turn cold soon after the sun sets, though Southern California's typically dry climate leaves the day itself workable for an outdoor event. A carnival that opens in the late afternoon catches the last daylight and then glows under its string lights.
The Carnival Fun Experts produces Christmas carnivals in Beaumont and across Riverside County, from a handful of booths to a full midway.
A holiday midway for Beaumont.
Guests enter beneath the holiday balloon arch, trimmed with candy canes, peppermint balloons and gingerbread figures, and walk into a row of striped booths. Candy-cane signage hangs on each one, and the carnival games, ring toss and bean toss among them, wear candy-cane skins. Players collect prizes. Churros, pretzels, popcorn, cotton candy, nachos, snow cones and caramel apples are sold from the concession booths, which sit together so the food line stays out of the way of the games.
Santa and Mrs. Claus hold court at the photo-op station on the far side. Phones in parents' hands work, and a host who prefers a single photographer can book the one The Carnival Fun Experts offers. Snow-flocked trim and props give the set a frosted look that is applied before the event and does not shed, and the walk-in snow globe inflatable provides another photo spot. A park such as Fallen Heroes Park, Rangel Park or Three Rings Ranch Park can host an event like this, and the host confirms space and dates with the city.
