corporate holiday parties in Clairemont.
A corporate holiday party with carnival entertainment is a year-end staff party built on booths, games, concessions and entertainers instead of a rented banquet hall. Corporate holiday parties in Clairemont can use a park, a recreation center lawn or a company lot, and can run as a family afternoon or an after-work evening.
Clairemont's public sites give a company options without a hall rental: Mount Acadia Community Park and South Clairemont Recreation Center & Community Park for larger groups, North Clairemont Recreation Center for a team. A planner books one and arranges the permit with the city, then adds the carnival on top.
My Little Carnival supplies the booths, games, concessions, entertainers and Santa, and the company supplies the food and the venue arrangements.
A company holiday party built for Clairemont.
Take the family-style option first. On a lawn, striped booths form a loop with a concession row on one side, Santa and Mrs. Claus at a photo station and an inflatable for the children of staff. A company can pick two or three entertainers from the list: a face painter, a balloon artist, a caricature artist, a juggler, a stilt walker or a walk-around magician. For an after-work version, drop the inflatables and the daytime children's attractions and add a DJ or sound system.
Plan the host's side separately. Catering, drinks of any kind, tables and chairs, tents beyond our booths, heating, permits and other vendors are arranged by the company with its caterer or the park. My Little Carnival brings the carnival: games with prizes, the seven concessions (churros, pretzels, popcorn, cotton candy, nachos, snow cones and caramel apples), the entertainers and the Santa station. The date is held with a 50% deposit.
What's typically included.
-
Booths and games.
Striped 10x10 booths with carnival games and prizes, with the count matched to the number of guests.
-
Concessions.
Churros, pretzels, popcorn, cotton candy, nachos, snow cones and caramel apples from our concession booths.
-
DJ or sound system.
Music and announcements for the afternoon or evening, set up for a park or a lot, with the volume kept in check for the homes around the site.
-
Entertainers.
Face painters, balloon artists, caricature artists, jugglers, stilt walkers and walk-around magicians, chosen by the company.
-
Santa station.
Santa and Mrs. Claus for staff with children, with families on their own phones or the host adding the photographer.
-
Inflatables.
Jumpers and slides for a family party, plus the walk-in snow globe, which is a photo prop. Nothing falls inside it, and an adults-only party can leave all of this out.

Specifics for Clairemont.
- 100 to 150 people: A party of this size runs about $4,000 to $10,000, and fits North Clairemont Recreation Center or a company lot.

Common questions.
Which Clairemont site works for a few hundred staff?
Mount Acadia Community Park and South Clairemont Recreation Center & Community Park are the community-park sites to ask about first. The company confirms availability and the permit with the city, and plans the booth count around the footprint it is given.
Can we run the party on our own lot?
Yes, if the lot has room and clear fire lanes. My Little Carnival walks the lot with the planner and fits a loop or an L layout to it. The company handles any sign-off from its building owner.
What is included in a party quote?
Booths, games and prizes, the concessions, any entertainers, the DJ or sound system and the Santa station, as chosen. Food, drinks, tables and chairs remain the company's.
Can we hold an adults-only version?
Yes. Skip the inflatables and plan around booths, a DJ or sound system and an entertainer such as a caricature artist.
How is the date held?
A 50% deposit holds it once the quote is accepted.
