corporate holiday parties in Fullerton.
A corporate holiday party with carnival entertainment is a company's year-end event staged as a midway, with striped game booths and prizes, snack concessions, a DJ or sound system, roaming entertainers and a station for Santa and Mrs. Claus. It can run as a daytime event for staff and their children or as an adult evening. This page walks through corporate holiday parties in Fullerton: where they can be held, what they cost by headcount, and what the company handles itself.
A Fullerton company can use its own lot, or ask the city about Hillcrest Park, Craig Regional Park, Amerige Park or the Fullerton Community Center, each of which can host an event once the host confirms space and dates. The booths, the DJ and the Santa station move to whichever site is chosen. Company lots and city sites need different approvals, so the early question is who signs off on the space, a property manager in one case and the City of Fullerton in the other. Once that is answered, the walk-through with The Carnival Fun Experts fixes the booth positions, the DJ corner and the route guests take from the gate.
The Carnival Fun Experts supplies and runs the entertainment, and the company arranges the meal, the drinks, the seating and any permits.
A company party, built as a carnival in Fullerton.
Suppose a company of about 120 holds its party in a parking lot on a Friday afternoon. Four striped booths run ring toss, bottle ring and milk can toss along one edge, the DJ sets up opposite, and the Santa station sits next to the gate. A caricature artist draws portraits while a face painter and a balloon artist circulate. Staff earn prizes at the booths, children visit Santa, and the company's own catering table holds the meal.
An after-work party can drop the family pieces. Adults get the booths, the concessions (churros, pretzels, popcorn, cotton candy, nachos, snow cones and caramel apples) and the music, with a walk-around magician or juggler working the groups. In December the light fades early, so an evening party has string lights on the booths doing the work. Whether the guest list includes children, partners or only employees is the company's call, and the entertainment adjusts. A company can also split the day, opening the booths for families first and turning to an adult-only crowd once the Santa station closes. The crew can build the layout to allow for that, with the inflatables at one end where they can be packed first.
