**AGAIN IN 2024 – CARNIVAL OPENS AT 4PM ON FRIDAY
** NEW IN 2023! We’ve heard you! In an effort to ease the crowds if possible–the Carnival (only) will open at 4pm Friday! Wristbands and tickets will both be sold. If you can–beat the crowd and get in a few rides before dinnertime! The rest of the festival will open at 6pm, as usual. TAKE CARE when approaching the carnival area 4pm-6pm, as vendors will still be moving in!
