Believe it or not- we already have three completely FULL weekends in November and December 2024! If you are looking for either of our popular Christmas characters and know your date- reach out now!

All of our princesses, superheroes and mascot characters have grown exponentially this past year and we will begin hiring again at the end of January. If you have inquired about a position in the past- please reach out with your resume/headshot to schedule an interview!
