Holiday & Seasonal Rentals: From Halloween Carnivals to Christmas Parties

Every season in The North Bay brings new reasons to celebrate—whether it’s a school harvest festival in the fall, a corporate holiday party in December, or an Easter egg hunt in the spring. And if you’ve ever tried planning one of these events, you know how quickly the calendar fills up and how much parents and organizers look for something fun, safe, and memorable.
At Astro Jump of North Bay, we’ve been a part of thousands of seasonal celebrations over the years. From spooky bounce houses at Halloween carnivals to mechanical bulls at company Christmas parties, we’ve seen firsthand what makes these events stand out—and how to make planning them a whole lot easier.
Halloween & Fall Festivals
Fall is one of the busiest times of year for schools, churches, and community groups across The North Bay. Pumpkin patches, harvest carnivals, and Halloween celebrations are all about bringing families together.
Some of the most popular fall rentals include:
Halloween-Themed Bounce Houses & Obstacle Courses (haunted castle, monster mash themes)
Carnival Games & Dunk Tanks — perfect for fundraising booths at school carnivals
Concessions — popcorn, cotton candy, and Sno-Cones always bring the “fair vibe”
Pro Tip: Schools in Mill Valley, Novato, and San Francisco often pair inflatables with their annual fundraising carnivals. Booking early ensures your event has the best attractions without scrambling at the last minute.
Christmas & Winter Holiday Parties
When December rolls around, inflatables might not be the first thing people think of—but they should be. Indoors or outdoors, they bring an unexpected level of fun to company holiday parties, winter carnivals, and even neighborhood block parties.
Popular winter rentals include:
Mechanical Bull or Reindeer Rides (yes, we can make it festive!)
Interactive Games — great for corporate team-building or mixed-age groups
Toddler-Friendly Play Zones — safe, soft inflatables perfect for little ones while parents mingle
Easter Egg Hunts & Spring Events
Spring in Marin or San Francisco means picnics, outdoor school events, and of course, Easter egg hunts. Our rentals add energy and excitement to these already family-friendly events.
Some spring favorites include:
Inflatable Obstacle Courses to keep kids busy between egg hunts
Bounce Houses in bright spring themes (safari, circus, or castle)
Concessions like Sno-Cones or cotton candy to top off the celebration
Summer Celebrations: 4th of July, BBQs & Block Parties
Of course, no list is complete without summer—the season of backyard BBQs, pool parties, and 4th of July block parties. Summer is our busiest season by far, and water slides always steal the show.
Top summer picks include:
Giant Inflatable Water Slides (like the 22’ Tiki Plunge or Island Pacific)
Slip-N-Slides & Bounce Combos for kids of all ages
Sports Inflatables — basketball, soccer, human foosball, or even inflatable axe throwing for the adults
Wrapping It Up
Every season brings its own energy, and with the right rentals, you can turn any holiday into a celebration that kids and adults will remember for years.
Whether you’re organizing a Halloween carnival, a corporate holiday party, an Easter celebration, or a summer block party, Astro Jump of North Bay County has the inflatables, games, and concessions to make it happen—without the stress.
