corporate holiday parties in Lemon Grove.
A corporate holiday party with carnival entertainment swaps the banquet-hall dinner for striped game booths, concessions, music and entertainers, either as a family afternoon or an after-work evening. This page covers corporate holiday parties in Lemon Grove, a compact city where a company can use its own lot or borrow a park for the day.
Companies near Lemon Grove have a few ways to find room. An office campus lot with a closed-off corner is the quickest option, and the city's parks offer another: Lemon Grove Park, the grounds of the Lemon Grove Recreation Center and Berry Street Park each have open ground that a reservation can claim. A company with staff who live in the area can also invite families who attend schools in Lemon Grove School District or Grossmont Union High School District.
My Little Carnival sizes the party to the guest list, from a handful of booths for a small team to a full midway for a larger workforce.
A company holiday party in Lemon Grove.
The format works in two modes. A daytime party is family-style: children play at the booths, a face painter or balloon artist works the edge of the crowd, and staff queue with their kids to meet Santa and Mrs. Claus beneath the holiday balloon arch. An after-work party drops the children's parts and leans on the games, a caricature artist, a walk-around magician and a DJ.
Churros, pretzels, popcorn, cotton candy, nachos, snow cones and caramel apples run from concession booths, and prizes at the games keep the competition friendly between departments. Dinner, drinks of any kind, tables and chairs are the company's to arrange, through its own caterer. My Little Carnival provides the carnival, the entertainers and the sound.

Specifics for Lemon Grove.
- Cost by size: About 100 to 150 people runs $4,000 to $10,000. A party of 200 to 400 runs $10,000 to $25,000, and larger companies land between $25,000 and $40,000 or more.
- Using a company lot: The lot needs a corner closed to cars and the property manager's sign-off. Loading access for our crew matters as much as the open space.
- Using a park: Lemon Grove Park, Berry Street Park and the Recreation Center grounds are reserved through the city, and a party that adds a booth line should say so on the reservation.
- Power: My Little Carnival can run a generator for our own equipment when venue power falls short. The host's own needs, such as a catering warmer, are a separate matter.
- Evenings: Light fades early in December. An evening party gains from the string lights on the booths, and the host arranges any heating.
- The host's side: Catering, drinks, tables, chairs, extra tents, heating, permits and other vendors are handled by the company or the venue.

The company does, through its own caterer or venue. My Little Carnival brings the carnival concessions only.
