Corporate Carnival Events in Jacksonville, FL

A company event has to work for whoever actually turns up, which is rarely the list you planned around. Eight staffed booths absorb a crowd that arrives in bursts and keeps changing shape.

What Jacksonville companies book this for.

Appreciation days, family events, openings, and end-of-year gatherings. Outside on a lawn or a lot, or inside anywhere with height for the tents.

Employee and family days

Staff bringing partners and kids, where one activity has to cover the whole spread of ages.

Riverfront and outdoor venues

Open sites where wind matters and tents need weighting, which we plan for rather than discover.

Openings and open houses

Foot traffic you need to slow down and then keep in the building.

End-of-year gatherings

The December event that does not depend on anybody wanting to dance.

What we bring to your event.

We load in early, build the midway, work every booth for your whole window, and pack out. Nobody on your team gets pulled into running a game.

  • Striped 10x10 booth tents, raised and struck by our crew
  • Classic booth games with a sticker prize for every player
  • Trained hosts working every booth for the full window
  • Music through the event
  • Setup and cleanup, usually about 45 minutes on each end
  • Certificate of insurance for your venue or facilities team

Jacksonville corporate carnival pricing.

Corporate events are quoted to the event rather than sold as a package. What sets the number is headcount, how long you need the midway running, and how many booths we staff so nobody queues. Tell us the date, the window, and roughly how many people, and we will size it and quote it.

Up to about 150 guests

Three striped tents and eight booth games with a host on each one. The scale most single-site appreciation days and family days land on.

About 150 to 500 guests

Four to six tents and a wider game lineup with a larger crew, so nobody stands in a line while everyone rotates through.

500 guests and up

A full midway staffed continuously for your whole window, sized to your schedule. This is the scale we work community events at.

Big Idea Entertainment Jacksonville has worked 200+ events across Greater Jacksonville and the First Coast since Richard and Veronica opened it in 2025, across every brand we run. Your event is staffed by our own background-checked hosts, not crew hired for the date.

"Great for our Fall Festival this year. The team showed up and was very enthusiastic and just great with all of the kids. The games were fun and added to the festival experience as well!"

Why one vendor for the whole midway.

One vendor, one invoice

Games, tents, staff, and sound from one company. No coordinating four rentals and hoping each of them turns up.

Insurance and paperwork handled

Certificates of insurance for your venue, and we work with facilities and procurement as a matter of routine.

Every age at once

Booth difficulty adjusts, so the four-year-olds and the adults play the same games without splitting the event in two.

We run it, you attend it

Our hosts work every booth for the full window. Your team gets to be guests at your own event.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you set up on a military base?
In principle yes, and the constraint is access rather than equipment. Base events need credentialing and vehicle clearance arranged well ahead, so start the conversation early and put us in touch with whoever handles vendor access.
Do you handle events on a riverfront lawn?
Yes, with weighting. Open water means wind, and tents on an exposed lawn need ballast rather than stakes. Tell us the site and we will plan the anchoring instead of improvising it on the day.
Our venue has never hosted anything like this. What now?
Put us in touch with whoever runs the building. We will tell them what we need, which is level ground, an outlet, and a load-in window, and we will send the certificate of insurance their risk team asks for.
How early do you need our headcount?
A rough number when you inquire, and a firmer one about two weeks out. The number drives booth count and staffing, so a late swing of fifty people is workable and a late swing of five hundred is not.
Can you run inside a warehouse bay?
Yes, if the clear height takes the tents and there is a path wide enough to bring equipment in. Bays usually work better than offices for this, because the floor is already flat and nobody minds a bit of noise.
