Corporate Events in Minneapolis
Bloomington's I-494 corridor and American Boulevard business district hold a dense cluster of corporate offices, and the Mall of America area alone draws a steady stream of conventions, trade shows, and hospitality events. We staff office parties, client appreciation days, and holiday events for Bloomington businesses, and we're set up to work convention floors and hotel event spaces near Mall of America, with crews scaled to a small team gathering or a multi-day trade show.
Festivals & Community Events
Happy Faces has provided entertainment for Bloomington area festivals and events for decades. From face painting to balloon animals, fortune tellers, and more, we bring the fun to your community events.
Neighborhood Parties & Backyard Events
Not every Bloomington event needs a full crew. For birthday parties, backyard get-togethers, and small block parties, we book a single face painter or a face painter and balloon twister pair, sized to a smaller guest list and a shorter booking window.

Common Questions
Face Painting in Bloomington — FAQ
Do you provide face painters for corporate events and conventions in Bloomington?
Yes. We staff office parties, client events, and convention or trade show floors throughout Bloomington, including the Mall of America area and the I-494 corridor. Call (952) 476-7676 to check availability and staffing for your event size.
Do Bloomington park events need a permit for entertainment or sound?
Often, yes. Bloomington requires a sound amplification permit for any event using speakers at a city park, and a separate permit for commercial photography or video. Fees run $50 to $200, filed at least 30 days out. We can coordinate around your permit timeline; contact Bloomington Parks and Recreation for details.
How much does a face painter cost for a Bloomington event?
Pricing depends on the number of artists, event length, and services selected. Corporate and convention bookings are quoted differently than a single-artist backyard party. Contact us or call (952) 476-7676 for a custom quote.
How far in advance should I book?
For neighborhood parties and small gatherings, 3-4 weeks out is usually enough. For festivals, conventions, and holiday-season bookings, we recommend 6-8 weeks to guarantee your preferred artist count.
