Best Entertainment Ideas for Your San Diego Holiday Office Party

October 20, 2025

A San Diego holiday party deserves more than just good food and a stocked bar — it deserves energy, laughter, and unforgettable moments. Whether your company leans classy, quirky, or full-on festive, the right entertainment can take your celebration from “nice dinner” to “best party of the year.” From local bands to interactive experiences, here are some of the best entertainment ideas to bring your BRICK holiday party to life.

Entertainment Idea No. 1: Hire a Tarot Card Reader or Aura Photographer

Add a mystical touch to your event with a tarot reader, aura photographer, or crystal bar. It’s fun, lighthearted, and gives everyone something to chat about between cocktails. Guests love the chance to tap into something a little unexpected; it adds an element of mystery and wonder to the night.

Entertainment Idea No. 2: Bring in a Photo Booth

No corporate holiday party is complete without a photo booth moment. Set up a vintage-style booth a modern 360-degree camera, or BRICK’s selfie station so guests can capture the night in style. At BRICK, our spacious layout means you can create multiple photo ops, like festive balloon walls, branded backdrops, or cozy lounge areas that match your company’s colors. It’s the perfect way to make memories and get great content for Monday’s social channels.

Entertainment Idea No. 3: Add an Interactive Food or Drink Station

Why not make your bar or catering setup part of the fun? Consider working with the BRICK Beverage team to create a custom company signature cocktail for the night. Not offering alcohol? No problem! Food stations — like a gourmet taco bar or DIY dessert setup — are another great way to get people mingling. At BRICK, you’ll have the flexibility to bring in your favorite local vendors to make it your own.

Entertainment Idea No. 4: Host a Company Awards or Game Night

Give your team a moment in the spotlight with lighthearted company awards (“Most Likely to Be Early to Every Meeting,” anyone?). Or set up interactive games like trivia, karaoke, or a festive scavenger hunt to get everyone laughing together. BRICK’s open floor plan makes it easy to move between dinner, games, and dancing without skipping a beat.

Entertainment Idea No. 5: Book a San Diego Local Live Performance

Think outside the box: how fun would it be to entertain your colleagues with an act like a comedian, magician, or local dance troupe?! A short, engaging performance can be the highlight of the evening and give everyone something to talk about. San Diego is full of talented acts like Mariachi Real De San Diego, and BRICK’s versatile setup makes it simple to incorporate a stage or performance area into your event flow.

Entertainment Idea No. 6: Create a Lounge or Chill Zone

Not every guest wants to be on the dance floor — and that’s okay! Create cozy lounge areas with soft seating, twinkle lights, and a themed snack station. It’s a great spot for conversation, networking, or snapping some aesthetic group photos. BRICK’s industrial-meets-chic vibe makes it easy to design zones that feel modern, stylish, and on-brand for your company.
