Turning a Parking Lot into a Full-Blown Summer Carnival in Pomona, CA When most people picture a company picnic, they imagine a park or outdoor pavilion. But at Mt. San Antonio Gardens in Pomona, we took a completely different route--transforming their own parking lot into a full-scale carnival-style summer event for 400 people. And the result? A bright, busy, nonstop celebration that delivered big energy without a big price tag. This event wasn’t just affordable—it was smart. The leadership team at Mt. San Antonio Gardens, a well-known retirement community in Los Angeles County, wanted to do something meaningful for their employees and their families. The budget was tight, the venue was their own property, and they needed a partner who could handle every piece of the event planning and production. That’s where we came in. We specialize in company picnics that deliver more bang for the buck, no matter the space, theme, or guest list. This event was a perfect example of that.

Organized during contract negotiations, this mid-week event had a tight two-hour window—just enough time to deliver a full-service lunch that felt both fast and thoughtful. We brought in a compact setup built for outdoor efficiency: a tented taco bar with everything grilled onsite, a dedicated beverage station, and shaded outdoor seating dressed in SEIU’s signature purple linens.
