Carnival Bringing Rides, Games, Phillie Phanatic To Cinnaminson

CINNAMINSON, NJ — The annual St. Charles Carnival in Cinnaminson will feature rides, food and a legend among athletic mascots.

The St. Charles Borromeo Carnival will take place from 6-11 p.m. nightly from June 12-17 at 2500 Branch Pike. The carnival represents one of the main revenue sources for St. Charles Borromeo Parish and the St. Charles School's religious-education programs.
