Community Carnival

Host a Community Carnival with rides, games, food stalls, and entertainment for families and individuals of all ages.

Rent carnival rides, hire entertainment like magicians and musicians, and set up game booths with prizes. Secure a large venue, such as a park or your church grounds. Reach out to local vendors for food stalls or organise a BBQ run by volunteers. Offer ticket packages for entry or rides and promote the event heavily through social media, flyers, and partnerships with local businesses. Plan additional activities like face painting, balloon animals, and a petting zoo to draw in a larger crowd. Ensure all safety and legal requirements are met, and have first aid stations in place.

A Community Carnival provides a fun, memorable experience for the entire neighbourhood. It builds a positive relationship between the church and the local community, promotes family bonding, and can serve as a fundraiser for a cause or outreach program.
