How we score these stores

Rating is the live Google average. Review volume measures how many customers have actually left feedback, ranked against the other stores on this page. Confidence weighs the rating against that volume, since a high score built on a small sample carries less weight than one backed by hundreds. Recency checks how recently people are still reviewing. No store can pay to change any of these numbers.

How much do party supplies cost in Los Angeles? (2026)

One reviewer at Navarro’s noted specific balloon prices during a visit.

Pricing reported by a customer review at Navarro’s Party Supply, verified August 2026. Other stores’ pricing varies and is best confirmed in person.

Serving Los Angeles, centered on the Fashion District

Every store on this page sits within a few blocks of each other near Olympic Boulevard and 9th Street in downtown LA’s Fashion District, so a party supply store near me search in that area will likely turn up two or three of these in walking distance of one another.

What to ask before shopping for party supplies

  • Do you have parking, and is it free or metered?
  • Can you make a custom piñata, and how long will it take?
  • Are prices marked on items, or do I need to ask at checkout?
  • Do you rent helium tanks, and what’s the deposit?
  • What are your actual hours, since some of these stores close early?
  • Can I call ahead to confirm an item is in stock?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these stores?

We pulled every party supply store in Los Angeles with a public Google Business Profile, then ranked by rating weighted against review volume, recency, and profile completeness.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects Google data verified in August 2026. We revisit rankings periodically as ratings and review counts change.

Why are so many of these stores in the same part of downtown LA?

The Fashion District near Olympic Boulevard has long been a wholesale hub for balloons, piñatas, and party goods, and several independent retailers cluster there as a result.

Can I get a custom piñata made same-day?

Several stores on this page, including Carrusel Party Supply, are reviewed for making custom piñatas within about 15 minutes if they don’t already have what you want in stock.

The bottom line

Navarro’s Party Supply is the safe default for the widest selection and the deepest review history here. If you want the highest-rated experience with a smaller, more curated stop, Party Mex is worth the short drive.
