There’s something about summer and carnivals that just go together. What better time of the year to ride a Ferris wheel, (try to) win some games, eat some elephant ears and enjoy live music while chomping on a scoop (or two) of ice cream?
Here’s where you can enjoy this American pastime in Metro Detroit all summer long.
Annual Rochester Hills/Leader Dogs Spring Carnival (June 6-9)
This annual carnival is happening in Rochester Hills at the Hampton Village Center and has supported the Rochester Hills Lions Club and the Leader Dogs for the Blind for 42 years.
