corporate holiday parties in Highland.
A corporate holiday party with carnival entertainment is a company's year-end celebration run as a midway, with striped booths, games, concessions and entertainers in place of a banquet. This page covers corporate holiday parties in Highland, including the sites a company can ask about, the lineup The Carnival Fun Experts brings and what each headcount band costs.
A company can use its own office campus lot, or ask about Highland Community Park, the YMCA of the East Valley or Highland Senior Center. The company confirms space and dates with the city, the property manager or the organization before it sets a date for staff.
The Carnival Fun Experts brings the midway, entertainers and sound; the company handles the site, catering, drinks, seating and heating.
What a company holiday party looks like in Highland.
Picture a company lot on a weekday evening, cleared of cars and marked out for the midway. Red-and-white and green-and-white booths run along one edge, string lights come on at dusk, and a DJ plays at one end. Co-workers queue for ring toss and bottle ring while a caricature artist draws portraits, a balloon artist shapes animals for the children, and a juggler works the open space. Walk-around magicians stop at each cluster of people, and prizes pile up on the counters.
The party can be built two ways. A family afternoon adds Santa and Mrs. Claus at a photo station with a balloon arch, plus a few inflatables for the younger guests. An evening for adults skips both and concentrates on the booths, the sound and the entertainers. A company with a mixed guest list can run a family block and then an adults-only block. Meals, drinks, tables, chairs and heating are the company's to arrange, while The Carnival Fun Experts runs the seven concessions.

Specifics for Highland.
- Headcount pricing: About 100 to 150 people costs $4,000 to $10,000. A group of 200 to 400 costs $10,000 to $25,000, and larger companies cost $25,000 to $40,000 or more.
- Company lots: If a landlord owns the lot, the company asks for approval. The layout is drawn around the lot's shape, as a loop, an L or a straight row, once the dimensions are known.
- Highland Community Park: A public park, so the company asks the city what a reservation requires and which area suits a midway. Space and dates are the city's to confirm.
- Meals and drinks: Only the seven concessions come from The Carnival Fun Experts. A caterer handles a meal, and drinks of any kind come from the company.
- Seating and heat: Tables, chairs, tents beyond the booths and heating are the company's to arrange.
- Power: Booths and sound draw from the site. A generator runs The Carnival Fun Experts's own equipment if venue power falls short.

Common questions.
Can we hold the party at Highland Community Park?
It can host an event if the city approves the date and space. The company asks the city, and The Carnival Fun Experts provides the insurance paperwork a reservation needs.
What does a party for 200 people cost?
A party of 200 to 400 people runs $10,000 to $25,000, and the exact figure follows the booths, concessions and entertainers chosen.
Can the party be adults only?
Yes. Leave out the Santa station and the inflatables and build around the booths, the DJ and the magicians. The red-and-white and green-and-white booth stripes keep the holiday look without any children on the guest list.
Who brings catering?
The company. The Carnival Fun Experts does not provide meals or drinks beyond the seven concessions: churros, pretzels, popcorn, cotton candy, nachos, snow cones and caramel apples.
Is a microphone available for an awards moment?
Yes. The sound system carries announcements, and the company decides when to pause play for a toast, a raffle or an awards moment. Attendants hold the booths open until the remarks end.
How is the date held?
A 50% deposit holds it. The company sends it after the headcount, the lineup and the site are settled.
