The carnival rides and games market is huge, with varying prices worldwide. However, it all comes down to quality, as even though it is all about enjoying in the fairgrounds, safety & well-being often becomes a point of concern.

The pandemic has made outdoor events a tad bit rare. However, now that most countries have banned indoor seating arrangements, outdoor events are becoming the new “in” thing. However, how do you host a successful carnival or an outdoor event?

For beginners, outdoor events can be hosted anywhere with big rides for hire. You can choose between gardens, public parks, open spaces, and even somewhere on the beach. Besides, there is no better time to host a sports event, barbeque, or fun amusement-themed event!

While organising an event can be super exciting, especially if the weather is good, there are a few things you must never forget, especially when it is something as big as a carnival.

Decide what the type of event you are planning to organise

The most decisive factor in planning your event is its nature. Be clear about whether you want to organise a carnival that welcomes guests of all ages or an exclusive kid’s funfair or school fete. Take into account the age group of guests you are expecting and the theme you have chosen. For instance, if it is a fair for kids, your theme, choice of decorations, and variety of rides to be selected depend on it.

Choose a venue and get the necessary permits

If you have decided that your event needs to be hosted outdoors, the next is to find a venue that fulfils your needs. You can also explore an otherwise boring-looking park or beach-side to a fun, happening & enjoyable place bursting with energy.

Before you finalise anything, meet with the site managers and decide the optimum capacity of the space, along with the diverse activities that can be hosted conveniently. Then, figure out the lighting and seating arrangements to ensure your guests are always comfortable and safe. So, make sure to get all the required permits. Without this, your event may be randomly shut down by the authorities! What’s more embarrassing than last-minute drama?

Get an idea about the probable weather conditions

Although it is evident that weather conditions are something you can never be sure about, try to get an idea by contacting local weather authorities. Besides, you can also choose dates that have a higher probability of giving you a clear sky with sunshine based on your own previous experiences. For instance, it’s pretty common for Melbourne to experience all four seasons in one day as in one minute, it can be sunny before it quickly turns to rain. On the other hand, it’s often warmer and dryer the further north you travel. So, make all the necessary arrangements accordingly if your chosen venue is located here. Again, Sydney experiences warm but mild weather throughout the year, whereas it tends to be hotter and dryer in Brisbane.

Even if there are signs of good weather, it is essential to be prepared for the worst with a backup plan. Also, ensure there are enough shaded areas to gather.

Decide the variety of games & rides you want to hire

Now that you have figured out all of the above, it’s time to settle on the diverse range of games & fun rides you want to hire. If your budget accommodates, go all out and look for big rides for hire like the Giant wheels, Carrousel rides, roller coasters, bunjees, spinning wheels, train rides, and much more. You can also choose the kid’s rides like the balloon rides, inflatables, and popular games like the balloon bust, catch-a-fish, laughing clowns etc., that are immensely popular.
