Check out the 2011 list for upcoming carnivals!

It’s that time of the year again! Here’s a list of medium to large fairs and carnivals in and around New Jersey for 2010. If you know about a medium to large carnival (ie. with adult thrill rides and not just kiddie rides/inflatable attractions) that isn’t listed here that’s within the area, please drop a comment about it and I’ll try to add it. I’ve also added a map this time with the fairs plotted out so that you can quickly get directions if you plan on checking it out. This list will be updated throughout the spring and summer, so make sure to check back!
