Why Choose Bounce House Rentals for Summer Events in Orange County?

The county's event lineup is always buzzing, with festivals and fairs that scream for extra entertainment. Take the OC Fair (July 18 – August 17, 2025, at the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa), which pulls in over a million people each year for its rides, concerts, and exhibits—adding a bounce house turns it into a kid's paradise while the grown-ups take in the sights1. 

Or the Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach (July 2 – August 29, 2025), full of workshops and displays that inspire creativity—a rental nearby keeps the younger crowd happy and active2.

These inflatables aren't just about play; they're a reliable way to handle the heat, especially the ones with water features.

Picking the best fit comes down to thinking about your space, the weather, and who's coming—get that right, and the day flows smoothly without a hitch.

Essential Bounce House Rental Tips for Summer Events

Planning a rental isn't just about picking the fun stuff—safety and setup are key. Here are expert-backed tips to ensure your Orange County event goes smoothly:

• Choose the Right Size and Type:

  Measure your space first. For backyard parties, a 13x13 ft bounce house is ideal, but for larger events like the OC Fair, go for combos or obstacle courses1.

  
  

• Beat the Heat with Water Options:

  For July's warm days (average 80–90°F), opt for wet/dry slides or add water to combos. But check weather forecasts—high winds or storms are a no-go. Pro tip: Use shaded areas or tents for comfort.

  
  

• Prioritize Safety:

  Rent from insured companies like us, with clean, inspected inflatables. Leave room for entrances/exits and supervise kids—recommend no mixing ages.

  
  

• Location and Setup:

  Choose flat, grassy spots away from power lines. For park events (e.g., in Lake Forest or Los Alamitos), check permits early.

  
  

• Budget and Packages:

  Our deals start at $99, but bundle with concessions for savings. First-time renters: Book early for summer peaks like the Sawdust Art Festival4.
