The 2026 carnival will take place from Tuesday, June 9th through Saturday, June 13th, featuring exciting rides and midway fun provided by the Sunshine Shows, LLC. The kitchen will be open each evening at 5:00 PM from Tuesday through Friday, and starting earlier at 2:00 PM on Saturday. The rides will open at 6:00 PM during the week and at 3:00 PM on Saturday.
Each night, live entertainment will provide music and fun while the kitchen serves up a variety of nightly specials alongside a full menu of carnival favorites. This year’s offerings include clam chowder, haluski, halupki (stuffed cabbage or pigs in a blanket), sausage and peppers, hot wings, boneless wings, potato pancakes, walking tacos, and many other popular items.
Ride specials will be available Tuesday through Friday from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM for $25, and on Saturday from 3:00 PM to 10:00 PM for $30. These wristbands allow unlimited rides during the special hours. Individual tickets will also be available for those who prefer to ride at their own pace.
A highlight of the week, the giant firemen’s parade will step off Thursday evening at 7:00 PM. Lineup will begin at the Jefferson Elementary School, traveling down Lions Road, making a left onto Mt Cobb Road and then left onto Cortez Road. Our beer tent is back again this year, and we’ve packed the entertainment schedule with performances from several talented local artists and bands.
The week will end with a bang on Saturday night with a spectacular fireworks display, made possible by our generous sponsors. We invite you to join us for a week full of delicious food, great entertainment, and fun for the whole family!

Family Pets
While we are a family friendly event, we kindly ask that family pets be left home for the safety of other guests and the animal owner. Animals sometimes react differently and unexpectedly in large crowds, noisy environments, confined spaces and around moving rides and flashing lights. We cannot be responsible for any mishap that may potentially occur. We are certain you will have tons of fun without your pet. Thank you for your understanding and support!
