Carnivals 2022

Carnivals 2022

Going to a summer carnival has become a rite of passage, but they’re not always easy to find! And while it’s a nice surprise to stumble upon a carnival while you’re out with your family, it doesn’t always, or really ever, work out that way! 

So, if you miss the summer tradition of spending an afternoon at the fair with your family and friends, here are some events for you to check out!

Kingston Carnival, Kington Collection, MA

July 14th – July 17th 

This weekend, Kingston will be hosting its annual Carnival from Thursday – Sunday. The event will be set up just outside the mall and will be open Thursday and Friday from 5pm – Close, and Saturday and Sunday from 1pm – Close.

You can purchase tickets either online in advance, or on site.

Big E, West Springfield, MA

September 16 – October 2nd

West Springfield is a little bit far for you listeners, but trust us when we say that The Big E is worth the travel!

The Big E is one of the biggest fairs in New England and there’s something everybody in your family will love there. You can look forward to rides and games and agricultural exhibits. You can also look forward to great food – if you frequent carnivals, you already know that the Big E has some of the best food of all of the local fairs.

This is also a special event because they have incredible performers throughout the duration of the fair as well. Some of the performers for this year are the Dropkick Murphys, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Nelly, Chase Rice, Baha Men, American Authors, Tai Verdes, and many, many more (they have 3 different stages for performers!!).
