The shape of a carnival-booth setup in Wildomar.
A school carnival usually arranges 4 to 8 booths in a row — game booths flanked by a concession booth at each end, sometimes a ticket booth at the entrance. The striped pattern signals 'carnival' from across the field.
Larger events scale up — 10 to 15 booths in a midway pattern, with separated zones for games, concessions, ticketing, and prize redemption. Corporate events sometimes customize booth signage with company colors and brand logos.
