Add Classic Carnival Fun to Your Event with Popcorn, Cotton Candy & Sno-Cone Machine Rentals

Some of my favorite moments come from watching a crowd light up at the first pop of a kernel or the spin of cotton candy in the air. At The Popcorn Lady, we specialize in bringing that joy to every event with our classic carnival machine rentals, including popcorn poppers, cotton candy spinners, and sno-cone machines. These aren’t just crowd-pleasers; they’re part of a long tradition of fun foods that have defined fairs and festivals for generations.

The popcorn machine has roots going back to 1885 when Charles Cretors invented the first commercial popper. His invention that made fresh popcorn a staple at carnivals. Cotton candy, too, has a sweet history, spun by hand for centuries before the first electric machine debuted in the early 1900s. And sno-cones? Their icy, syrupy charm began in the 1930s, with machines that brought shaved ice to the masses. Today, modern versions of all three are available for rent on popcornlady.com, making it easy to add timeless flavor to any party.

We make events simple by delivering and setting up the machines, providing supplies, and even staffing if needed. Whether it's a school carnival, company picnic, or birthday bash, The Popcorn Lady brings classic fun with modern service.
