How does a full-service carnival event work?
One team, start to finish. You tell us the date, the headcount, and the venue. We bring the trucks, the equipment, the staff, the supplies, and the setup crew. We open on schedule. We strike out by close-of-event. You handle the guests; we handle everything else.
No coordinating multiple rental shops, no separate inflatable + concession + entertainer quotes, no end-of-night equipment to return. The catalog you see on this site is mostly equipment we own and warehouse in Southern California — which is why we can give you a written quote within 24 hours instead of waiting on sub-vendors.
Who runs My Little Carnival?
A family, and the same one since 2007. What began with a single cotton candy machine, a hand-built game, two booths, and a whole lot of ambition has grown into a full team of trained attendants, drivers, and setup crew: people who've worked together long enough to make a 50-booth event look easy. In Q2 2027 we're opening the model up to franchise partners.
Why do schools, companies, and families book us?
Because the whole event arrives as one package: equipment, trained staff, supplies, setup, and breakdown, all on a single written quote returned within 24 hours. Every staffed booth is run by someone who's used it a hundred times, and we carry general liability insurance and workers' comp on all staff. That combination is why several hundred Southern California schools, churches, HOAs, and companies book us again year after year.
Is My Little Carnival part of a larger company?
Yes. My Little Carnival is the San Diego County brand of My Little Carnival, Inc., the family company behind all three regional carnival brands. Its sister brands are the flagship, The Carnival Fun Experts (Orange County, Riverside & San Bernardino) and Carnival Fun Experts (Los Angeles County). All three brands share one family team, one warehouse in National City, and one crew standard. Wherever you book, the equipment, the crew standard, and the quote process are the same.

What we don't do
We don't do single-item rentals. Every event we produce is a full event — minimum scope is one of our pre-built birthday packages, or a custom event quote. This keeps quality high — every piece of equipment arrives staffed and ready, run by someone who's used it a hundred times.
Insurance + permits
Fully insured: general liability and workers' comp on all staff. We provide a certificate of insurance (COI) for any venue that requires one.
