Pro Tip for Families

For families of three or more, the Family Wristband is probably the best value. It includes unlimited access to all rides and games throughout the entire day for everyone in your family for one price.

For individuals, the Individual Wristband is generally a better value for rides and games than purchasing individual tickets. Tickets are intended primarily for food and drinks.

Don’t Miss the Fun!

Bring your family, invite your friends, come hungry, and get ready for a day of fun, fellowship, and fundraising.

We can’t wait to see you at St. Ann’s 30th Annual Carnival!

Our 30th annual Carnival will be Saturday, October 3, 2026 from 10am until 7pm (Rain or Shine).

The Carnival this year will be packed with attractions suitable for all ages, from kiddies to adults: relaxing, high energy, thrilling, competitive, interactive, and virtual reality. Attractions will be located both outside and in the gym. Other activities include Bake Sale and Classic Raffle, with prizes of $2,000, $500 and $250.

Don’t forget the gems to be found this year in the online Auction. Should you want to fill our Pastor’s heart with glee, consider a sponsorship of any amount (but just seeing you there will please him even more; but why not both? After all, this is a fundraiser as well as a FUN raiser).

If you’re worried about getting hungry, we’ve got that covered too. The famous Men’s Club grill serves up the best burgers and dogs you can imagine. No Carnival would be complete without cotton candy, funnel cakes, Hispanic food delights, soda, beer and wine.

2nd Pro Tip: For families of 3 persons or more, the Family wristband is probably the best value, which includes unlimited access to all rides and games throughout the entire day for all members of your family for a single price. Otherwise, the Individual wristband is probably a better value for rides and games than purchasing tickets; the tickets are intended primarily for food and drinks.
