The carnival is a springtime tradition in the township and a fundraiser for the township's volunteer firefighters. The fire company held its first one back in 1979 at the Taylorsville Road fire station and in an open field across the street in what is now the River Knolls development. The carnival was later relocated to Washington Crossing Historic Park.

The carnival is open nightly from 6 to 10 p.m. Pay one price every night for unlimited rides. Armbands can be purchased at the carnival or in advance by clicking here. The cost is $30 online or in person.
