The Fleetwood Community Carnival organization will be hosting the 2026 carnival Tuesday, July 14, through Saturday, July 18, at the Fleetwood Community Park, 334 West Main St.
“We enjoy hosting this event as it’s an opportunity to provide rides, entertainment, and games for people of all ages, both from Fleetwood and surrounding municipalities. It’s always a pleasure to see families and children laughing and enjoying the various activities the carnival has to offer,” organizers said in a statement.
The carnival sees an attendance of about 2,000 people nightly as the event draws people from across the county as well as locally.
“The purpose of the carnival event is to provide a week-long event to the Fleetwood borough residents and residents from surrounding municipalities to come out and enjoy the activities,” said organizers. “This event helps raise funds for local Fleetwood Area community non-profit organizations.”
Volunteers from various Fleetwood organizations come together each year to staff the community concession stand, drink tent, ticket booths, and assist with parking cars.
The community concession stand will open at 5 p.m. to provide homemade food and seafood.
There will be nightly cash bingo held under the pavilion, which is sponsored by the Fleetwood Fire Company. The community midway will be filled with non-profit community organizations that will have information stands and/or games of chance to benefit their organization.
“The carnival event provides a pleasant environment in our local Fleetwood Park for people to attend and gather with friends and family, creating memories as they experience the different activities,” said organizers. “Be it playing bingo, riding amusement rides, enjoying our homemade food and seafood, or relaxing while listening to nightly entertainment. In our community, midway there are various non-profit groups that patrons can visit to learn about the organizations and how the organization supports the community.”
Amusement rides are provided by Tons of Fun Shows, with rides opening at 5 p.m. each night.
Ride-All-Night wristbands are available Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights.
