corporate holiday parties in Norco.
A corporate holiday party with carnival entertainment is a year-end event where the company hosts its staff on a midway of striped booths, games, concessions, a DJ or sound system and entertainers. This page covers corporate holiday parties in Norco, from a company lot to a city site, and which parts the company arranges on its own.
A Norco company can hold the party on its own property or ask about Pikes Peak Park, the Norco Community Center, SilverLakes Equestrian and Sports Park or the George Ingalls Equestrian Event Center. Staff who have children in Corona-Norco Unified School District can be invited to a family afternoon, and the company can read the district calendar before it sets the date.
The Carnival Fun Experts supplies the carnival. The company lines up its caterer, drinks, tables, chairs and permits.
A year-end carnival, Norco style
Two versions work. The family afternoon puts striped booths around a lawn or a lot, with a jumper and a face painter for the children, a balloon artist working the aisle and the Santa and Mrs. Claus station near the entrance for staff with kids. The after-work version keeps the games and the concessions, adds a DJ or sound system and a walk-around magician or caricature artist, and leaves the children's attractions out. A company with a long lot can run the booths in a single row down one side and keep the other side open for the DJ, the entertainers and a place for guests to stand, while a lot with a corner can take an L layout and put the Santa station at the bend.
Price follows headcount. Plan on $4,000 to $10,000 for about 100 to 150 guests, $10,000 to $25,000 for 200 to 400 guests, and $25,000 to $40,000 or more for larger companies. A 50% deposit holds the date. Food from The Carnival Fun Experts comes only from the concession booths: cotton candy, popcorn, churros, nachos, pretzels, snow cones and caramel apples. If the company wants a sit-down meal, it books a caterer and arranges the seating and the drinks, and the caterer or the venue supplies tables, chairs and any tent over the dining area. The Carnival Fun Experts does not provide heating either, so a company planning an evening start asks its venue what warmth is available for the guests who are not moving between games.

Common questions.
How much should a Norco company budget?
About $4,000 to $10,000 for 100 to 150 guests, $10,000 to $25,000 for 200 to 400 guests, and $25,000 to $40,000 or more for larger companies.
Can the party be adults only?
Yes. Booths, games, concessions and a DJ do not need children's attractions, and the Santa station is optional.
Who provides the meal?
The company books the caterer. The Carnival Fun Experts brings the seven concessions only.
Can it be held at an equestrian venue?
The company asks the venue whether a private party fits its calendar. The Carnival Fun Experts then fits the booth layout to the space granted.
Is a permit part of the plan?
A public site has its own rules. The Carnival Fun Experts supplies the certificate of insurance and the forms a permit asks for.
Does the party work in the evening?
Yes. The string lights go up with the booths, so the midway stays lit after dark. The company confirms with the site how late the property or park stays open, and plans the Santa station for the early part of the evening if families are coming.
