“Its is going well. I so appreciate how very helpful you and the staff have been. I even had a compliment from our Cool Car Cruise organizer how extremely helpful and courteous the staff was that were setting up. They went out of their way to help. Our whole team has had nothing but great feedback. I wish you all much success and yes, the weather is beautiful!”

Paige

“I would recommend this to all our properties. The team are top-notch! I have never seen a carnival this clean. Every morning when I would drive onto the property, I would circle the carnival area looking for trash and there was never any to be found. The layout of the rides and food trailers were spot on. The funnel cake I had was to die for!”

Amusement Event Hosting FAQs

Amusement events are turnkey in that our operators provide all the insurance, electric, toilets, trash, permits and equipment.
