WAKEFIELD — The annual Wakefield Independence Day Committee’s April vacation carnival is back in 2024!

And don’t forget the midway games!
Individual tickets and unlimited ride options are available during the noted four hour weekday shifts and 5 hours on Saturday. Please note, if your child has unlimited rides and you need to go on the rides with them, you will also need to purchase individual tickets or unlimited rides to join them.
