Corporate Events in Maple Grove
Maple Grove sits in the middle of Medical Alley, Minnesota's health-tech corridor, home to more than 160 healthcare-related businesses alongside manufacturers like Nortech and SterilMed and cooperatives like Great River Energy. With five highways running through the city (I-94, I-694, I-494, Highway 169, and Highway 610), it's an easy stop for a corporate picnic, client appreciation day, or holiday party for teams traveling in from across the metro. We staff office events sized from a single artist to a full crew for an all-company gathering.
Entertainment For Festivals & Community Events
Maple Grove's biggest event of the year is Maple Grove Days, a multi-day summer festival at Central Park with two stages, a business expo, kiddie games, a parade, and around 30,000 attendees. Large-scale annual events like it are exactly the kind of booking we're built for: multiple artists working in parallel to keep lines moving at high volume. For smaller public events, Maple Grove requires a permit for anything involving inflatables, alcohol, fundraising, or a route affecting traffic (runs, walks, parades), filed at least 30 days ahead of the event. We regularly staff school carnivals, church festivals, and neighborhood association events with 2 to 10+ artists at once.
Neighborhood Parties & Backyard Events
Not every Maple Grove event is festival-sized. For birthday parties, backyard get-togethers, and small block parties near Arbor Lakes or anywhere else in the city, 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.

Beyond face painting, we offer balloon twisters, caricature artists, costume characters, organized carnival games, fortune tellers, magicians, henna artists, photo booths, and inflatables, all bookable through one call. See our full list of entertainment services.
