Christmas carnivals in Jurupa Valley.
A Christmas carnival is an entire carnival styled for the season, with red-and-white and green-and-white striped booths, warm string lights, candy-cane signs over the games, a holiday balloon arch and Santa and Mrs. Claus at a photo station. This page covers Christmas carnivals in Jurupa Valley, where the event can settle into a city park, an event center or a school field.
Jurupa Valley's public sites include Veterans Memorial Park, Louis Robidoux Parkland and Pecan Grove, Skyview Event Center and the Eddie Dee Smith Senior Center. Families here attend schools in Jurupa Unified School District and in Corona-Norco Unified School District, so a parent group might coordinate with either one. Each site has its own booking contact, and the host confirms dates before the carnival is planned.
The Carnival Fun Experts builds the midway and provides Santa and Mrs. Claus. The host handles the site booking, tables, chairs and heating.
Laying out a Christmas carnival in Jurupa Valley.
Begin with the entrance. The holiday balloon arch, trimmed with candy canes, peppermint balloons and gingerbread figures, frames the way in, and the first booths sit just beyond it so guests can start playing right away. A park lawn takes a loop of striped booths in red-and-white and green-and-white, each game topped with candy-cane signage and lit by the string lights overhead. A parking lot takes two parallel rows with the aisle between them.
The concessions (churros, pretzels, popcorn, cotton candy, nachos, snow cones and caramel apples) group at one end, and the Santa and Mrs. Claus station anchors the other so the line can stretch without blocking the games. Families can shoot with their own phones, or the host can add the photographer The Carnival Fun Experts offers. A walk-in snow globe inflatable can serve as a photo prop, and nothing falls inside. Neighborhood and HOA carnivals run about $4,000 to $10,000, company parties $10,000 to $25,000, and large multi-department events $25,000 to $40,000 or more. Church events start from about $2,000, and the smallest custom event The Carnival Fun Experts quotes starts around $1,500.
