For the first time in 14 years, our Kids Carnival will not take place during First Friday on August 7th. This tradition has always been one of our favorite ways to bring families together, and celebrate our community... which is why this announcement is especially hard.
Due to circumstances outside of our control, we are unable to host the carnival this year. We want to be transparent, but also reassuring: this is a pause, not an ending. Our team is already looking ahead, and we are committed to bringing the Kids Carnival back next summer.
We would like to thank the community for all the support over the years, it truly has made this event what it is, from the UNITED WAY who show up rain or shine, to families who return year after year, to kids whose excitement reminds us why we do this. We are deeply grateful for every one of you.
Please enjoy these photos from past carnivals โ the laughter, the games, the face paint, the community spirit. These moments are exactly why we canโt wait to bring it back in 2027.
