Organizers are nearly ready to open this year’s Saxonburg Carnival but those planning to attend will notice several changes from years past.
The Saxonburg Carnival will present 10 to 12 carnival rides and 10 to 12 carnival food vendors beginning Wednesday at 6 p.m. until around 11 p.m. Saturday’s Kiddee Matinee begins at 4 p.m.
The Saxonburg Volunteer Fire Company runs this annual event as a fundraiser, but due to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding COVID, some changes have become necessary.
Activities like the Pet Parade and Water Battle will not be happening this year. There will be no admission to get into the carnival as a result of gate sponsors, however ride tickets will be sold.
