Venetian carnival

Anderson Midways will be back to host the Venetian Carnival this year! 

The carnival and midway, which opens on Wednesday, July 24, includes popular rides such as bumper cars, Tilt-a-Whirl and the Swings, as well as more docile rides for the younger ones.  The rides, midway and amusements will return to their usual position on downtown Mason Street and in the neighboring city parking lots to the north.

Rides, games, and treats will be available from 5 pm – 11 pm on Wednesday, July 24; 12 pm – 11 pm on Thursday, July 25, 12 pm – 11 pm on Friday July 26 and 12 pm – 11 pm on Saturday, July 27.

Single tickets are $1.50 each. A strip of 15 tickets can be purchased for $20, and a strip of 50 tickets for $50. Rides take 3 or 4 tickets per ride. Armbands, which are good for unlimited rides all day, can be purchased for $25 per day Wednesday through close on Sunday.  For a limited time on Thursday, (12-5 pm), which is Kid’s Day in East Park, armbands are discounted to $20.   

Kids and grown-ups alike will find something to thrill their senses, at the always popular Venetian Festival carnival and midway.
