UPDATED: 5 Things You Need To Know Today in Framingham: June 12

1. The Carnival is in town today and for the rest of the weekend.

The first-ever Framingham High Giant Carnival opened last night at St. Thomas Church, located at 41 Brook Street.

The carnival was the brain-child of Framingham High junior class president Jake Binnall, who began working on bringing the carnival to town in 2013. The carnival will features rides, food and games by Fiesta Shows.

Money raised from the “carnival will go towards ensuring that cost doesn’t deter people from attending their senior prom. It will significantly help us cut down costs,” said Binnall.

Framingham Giant Carnival hours are:

• Today, June 12 from 6 to 10 p.m.
• Saturday, June 13 from 1 to 10 p.m.
• Sunday, June 14 from 1 to 9 p.m.

Admission is free, but you must purchase tickets for the rides and games. Food is available for purchase.
