1) Why should our local Phoenix School have a carnival?
First off, your should have a carnival because it is fun. People have been hosting and planning carnival events here in america for years and years. Besides this point, there are all kinds of other great reasons to have a phoenix school carnival… It makes the most sense if you are planning a carnival event to get clear on the goals for having yours. This will give you more of a focus when planning the carnival.

Here are some “whys” that people use for having a school carnival:

o As an event structured to Build Community
o A great simple way to shows some simple appreciation of community
o To make some money or as a fundraiser
o A way to boost interaction in the local community
o Parents organization – a way to begin team work
o Reward the students and families for a job well done.

Your next phoenix area school carnival event can be a great event. It’s success can lead to many good things, more events, like it, more funds for whatever cause you are looking to support within the school. But most importantly they are about community building. In today’s world more and more children and their families are becoming distanced from good old fashioned community. A carnival event is a simple opportunity for people to build community and hopefully raise some funds during the meanwhile.

Not to mention- it gives people a chance to have fun. It is very important that children and parents associate fun with school.

Organization is key when planning any special event. A well organized carnival is a simple, single, key to a successful event. If you do not have a good foundation, a good solid carnival company to provide top level entertainment, a strong list of volunteers you can count on, and a well thought out method for set up, clean up, and how the carnival will work- then you need to get on it.

At AZ Party rents, we are the prime choice for carnival activities and entertainment options. We will do our best for you and your school. We are the best at what we do, and we simply believe that everyone should get the best.

When should the school carnival occur?

Your carnival is going to be less successful if you hold the event during a time when the local phoenix temperatures are scorching. That is just a fact. So try to plan your carnival event any time from October, when the heat goes away through about April, May. Most people find that hosting the event on a Thursday or Friday Night is the most successful. But we do plenty of school carnivals that occur on the weekend as well.

Essentially you want to choose a time when the whole family can make it to the event. So starting the event at 5:30 or 6p on a weeknight, or hosting the event for a longer time period on the weekend makes more sense!

Budget Planning – Dollars and Cents impact your phoenix school carnival.

How much you spend on anything determines what you get in return. In most cases we find that whatever people rent from us, the carnival recoups several times that amount in admission sales and tickets. Our services more than pay for themselves as long as the carnival is planned and marketed with care.

We work with carnivals who have budget of only $1,000 to full on carnival blow outs which spend tens of thousands.

Don’t go with a carnival company based solely on price. This can often impact your carnival in negative ways.

You also want to keep the needs and tastes of your attendees at the front of mind. Hiring some cheap company with shoddy equipment is not necessarily a great way to go about hosting a carnival event. If the equipment you hire is dirty and looks old, who will want to use it? And with respect to that- who is coming back next year?

This about the same quality control type issues when creating activities, hiring entertainment, and deciding food options.

Where do you want to hold your carnival?

The most obvious answer to this is in your local valley area school.

School Carnivals can take place inside a gym (for maximum weather protection) But the most successful ones we see are outside, because this allows for much more space for activities and attractions. When schools are not limited by space we can offer our larger attractions, which are more popular. Plus these attractions will also bring in people from the neighborhood such as home school students, or children who attend another school in the area. Placing attractions outside where they can be seen maximizes the revenue potential and increases your schools visibility and recognition.

Carnivals of all types need to have a back up plan or rain plan… Remember this in all aspects of planning the event!
