Planning a Graduation-Themed Carnival 

The calendar may still officially say winter, but spring is right around the corner, meaning it’s time to plan your class-spirit-themed carnival for this year’s graduating class. Seacoast Events offers amazing carnival games, tents, and midway snacks that will transform your gymnasium or school fields into a spring carnival sure to please the graduates. 

Here is a planning guide to hosting a successful carnival, including ideas on decor, menu lists, and carnival games to transform your space. 

Carnival Pre-Planning

One of the most important parts of planning any event is the pre-planning phase. During this stage, be sure to form a carnival committee that can help you complete all the tasks needed to make the event a success. 

Set A Date

Your committee should immediately determine a good day and time for the event. For some schools, seniors have a designated “senior week” for special events around commencement, including yearbook signings, graduation rehearsals, and farewell parties. A carnival is the perfect addition to this series of events! 

Find A Venue

Pre-planning should include determining a venue that offers enough space for carnival games, food stalls, and seating areas and can accommodate the expected number of guests. Often, schools have spaces on campus that can accommodate the number of graduates and other guests. 

Set A Budget

Budgeting should also be a critical part of the pre-planning process. This includes knowing the overall amount that can be spent and how the budget will be divided among food, entertainment, decor, and other expenses. 

Set the Entertainment, Decor, & Snacks

Carnivals are known for being loud, exciting and filled with yummy goodies! A senior week graduation carnival should include all this and more.

Carnival Booths

Seacoast Events has the ideal setup for the entertainment for your graduation-themed carnival. Our red and white carnival tents will set the scene for a traditional carnival. These booths will be delivered and set up by our team and will set a fun atmosphere for your guests. 

Carnival Games 

Inside each carnival tent will be games of your choosing including our most popular games –  Milk Jug Toss, Frog Launch, Balloon Darts, Ring Toss, Milk Bottle Knockdown, Roller Bowler, Bag A Balloon, Basketball Shot or Axe Battle. 

Graduation Decor 

While our distinctive carnival booths already set a party mood, decor that is specific to your school is also recommended such as mortar boards, tassels, or school colors. 

Graduation Photo Booth

No event is complete without photos! Use one of our many styles of photo booths where props related to graduation would be ideal. 

Graduation is a huge milestone and rite of passage that should be celebrated. If you are searching for the perfect graduation event, look no further than Seacoast Events Carnival Entertainment.
