Planning a Church Fall Festival in Augusta, GA: Complete Checklist
Fall festivals are one of the biggest events on a church calendar - and one of the best ways to bring the surrounding community onto your campus. Between trunk-or-treats, hayrides, chili cook-offs, and game booths, there's a lot to coordinate. This checklist walks Augusta-area churches through everything to plan, in order, so nothing gets missed.
Step 1: Set Your Headcount and Budget (6-8 Weeks Out)
Start with a rough attendance estimate based on your congregation size and how much community outreach you're planning. A festival for 100-150 people looks very different from one expecting 300+ from the neighborhood. Your headcount drives everything else - how many inflatables you need, how much seating, and how much food to plan for.
Step 2: Book Event-Certified Inflatables Early
Church and school events draw bigger, more mixed-age crowds than a backyard birthday party, so you'll want equipment rated for that kind of continuous use. Our Event Certified lineup is built specifically for churches, schools, and nonprofits - commercial-grade, fully insured, and designed for larger crowds. Popular picks for fall festivals include the All Star Obstacle ($430), Blazing Star Obstacle Course ($450), and the Bounce Slide Pack ($349) for guests who want a quick slide down between game booths. Because fall is our busiest season, we recommend booking your date 4-6 weeks ahead.
Step 3: Add Games for All Ages
Our most-booked package for church fall festivals is The Ultimate Game Zone ($215) - five interactive games in one price, including Double Fun inflatable games, Giant Jenga, Giant Connect 4, and an Inflatable Saturn Toss Game. It's built for exactly this kind of event: set it up once and let people rotate through all afternoon. If you want something with a bit more energy, our Dunk Tank ($300) is always a hit at church festivals - consider letting youth group leaders or staff take a turn in the tank as a fundraiser.
Step 4: Plan Seating and Fellowship Space
Between games, most festivals also need tables for registration, food, and a place for parents to sit while kids play. Our Tables & Chairs packages range from the Round Table Celebration Package (20 chairs, $135) up to the All Star Community Event Package (100 chairs, $460). Not sure how many you need? Our guest count guide breaks it down by expected attendance.
Step 5: Confirm Insurance and Certificates
Most churches require a certificate of insurance before any equipment is set up on the property. All Star Jumpers is fully insured and can provide a certificate of insurance for your church office ahead of the event - just let us know when you book so we can have it ready in time for your facilities approval process.
Step 6: Finalize Delivery Logistics (1-2 Weeks Out)
Walk your church grounds and decide where each inflatable and table setup will go - grass is ideal, but we can also set up on pavement with the right anchoring. Let us know your desired delivery window and whether you need equipment overnight (only 25% more than the base rate) so volunteers aren't rushing to tear down between Sunday service and the festival.
Sample Fall Festival Lineups
Small festival (under 150 guests): The Ultimate Game Zone ($215) + Round Table Community Package ($225) = $440
Mid-size festival (150-300 guests): All Star Obstacle ($430) + The Ultimate Game Zone ($215) + Large Banquet Event Package ($225) = $870
Large community festival (300+ guests): Blazing Star Obstacle Course ($450) + Dunk Tank ($300) + The Ultimate Game Zone ($215) + All Star Community Event Package ($460) = $1,425
Every package includes delivery, setup, and takedown, so your volunteer team can focus on running the event instead of assembling equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should we book? Fall is our busiest season - we recommend locking in your date at least 4-6 weeks ahead, especially for weekend dates in October.
Can equipment be set up on a parking lot? Yes, many of our inflatables can be secured on pavement with weighted anchors instead of stakes - just let us know your surface when booking.
Do you provide a certificate of insurance? Yes, we're fully insured and can send a certificate of insurance to your church office ahead of the event.
Is there a discount for booking multiple items? Bundling inflatables, games, and tables together in one order is often more cost-effective than booking separately - call us and we'll help build a package for your festival budget.
