Marley Splash Con was a Mermaid BASH! We had the best time bringing to life these characters. Princess themed mermaids, mermaid bubble sphere performers, mermaid stilt walkers and of course TAP DANCING CRABS! What else could anyone need!

For Marley Con 6, LA Follies transformed the Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA) in Long Beach into a vibrant, immersive celebration inspired by the guest of honor's favorite worlds and characters. Designed as a fully interactive experience, the event featured a dynamic mix of roaming entertainment, custom performances, and larger-than-life visual moments that delighted guests throughout the evening.
The activation included beloved Disney-inspired characters, strolling Barbie-inspired performers, Barbie and Ken stilt walkers, roller skaters, rollerbladers, elegant greeters, and a whimsical confectionary skirt performer inspired by Barbie's iconic aesthetic. Throughout the event, guests encountered interactive performers who created memorable photo opportunities and spontaneous moments of engagement.
Entertainment continued with multiple custom choreographed dance performances created specifically for the celebration, alongside a captivating aerial performance that served as one of the evening's signature highlights. Every entertainment element was designed to complement the event's colorful, playful atmosphere while maintaining a polished, high-end production value.
From creative concept development and casting to choreography, costuming, specialty artists, and production management, LA Follies delivered a fully customized entertainment experience tailored to the client's vision. By blending immersive character interactions with theatrical performance, the team created an unforgettable celebration that kept guests engaged from arrival through the final performance.
Whether producing luxury private celebrations, corporate events, festivals, or experiential marketing activations, LA Follies specializes in creating one-of-a-kind entertainment experiences that combine custom choreography, specialty performers, interactive characters, and visually stunning production elements.
Performing for the military families is a highlight of our summer season. This year the theme was Storybooks. So from fairytales to comic book heroes to classic chapter books, we had the opportunity to have 20 performers including tap dancers, stilt walkers, roller skaters, pop dancers, ballet dancers, jazz dancers and mascot characters to perform throughout the afternoon.
