Attractions

Riotous Rides

Thrill yourself with authentic vintage Carnival rides that include North America’s oldest operating Ferris wheel, built one hundred years ago by Eli Bridge in 1917 and the 1938 Allan Herschell carousel, complete with hand-carved wooden horses.

Clairvoyant Caravan

Yearning to know what your future holds in store for you? Will you find love or a great adventure? Step beside this vintage bus where mystics and fortune tellers will answer your questions, reveal life’s secrets and foretell your future from a deck of cards, palm readings and other mystical methods of musing.

Games Galore

Step inside our tents and test your dexterity with classic games of skill from decades ago that include the Milk Bottle Toss, Cat Rack and Cork Gun Shooting Gallery. Think you’re as powerful as Carnival strong men of yesteryear? Step outside and grab the big mallet and take a swing at making the twenty-foot High Striker chime.

 

Sideshow Banner Exhibition

Celebrate the unique and mesmerizing artistic legacy of carnivals by viewing the colourful showcase of sideshow banners created by Carnivàle Lune Bleue’s Banner Artist, Holde Unverzagt. Holde’s stunning works of art have been an integral part of the visual appeal of North America’s most popular carnivals and amusement parks, in Canada, the United States and Europe.

Wandering Performers

Suddenly they will appear right in front of you – a wandering band of demented demons! They even use a 1930 Chevy Flatbed Truck from the HBO show Carnivàle as a makeshift stage!

CarnyVille

Saunter past a collection of classic trailers, including a glistening aluminium Airstream. Check out the all too public bathing, laundry and eating areas. CarnyVille is a voyeuristic glimpse into the wandering way of life of a carny worker in the dirty 30s. 

Snack Grab Joints

Treat your sweet tooth cravings with timeless carnival sweets and treats. We’re not bringing our Cookhouse to Brockville but our friends at RibFest will be serving up grilled delights just a short stroll away.
