Carnival at Hyattsville’s University Town Center

Plenty of fun rides to enjoy at the Carnival!

It’s baaaack. Jolly Shows Carnival will be at Hyattsville’s University Town Center August 21st – September 2nd. Since our last post about this carnival went over like hotcakes, we thought we’d recirculate that post with updated date info for this August’s carnival. You’re welcome! 😉 We also know many camps and daycares are closed the last week in August so perhaps a carnival ride or two might make it into your plans. Who knows? Maybe you’ll even have so much fun that you can move past the carnival company’s glaring misspelling of our beloved “Hyattesville.” :-/ Enjoy!

Or likely both, knowing you – and me ;), you may have noticed some roller coaster rides, games and the like setting up in the parking lot facing East-West Highway. That’s right. A carnival’s coming to town!
