MORRIS PLAINS — St. Virgil’s Parish will celebrate a major milestone this spring as its annual parish carnival returns for its 50th year, bringing four nights of rides, games, food, and family entertainment to Morris Plains. The carnival is scheduled for Wednesday, May 6 through Saturday, May 9 on the church grounds at 250 Speedwell Avenue.
Carnival hours will be 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, with extended hours on Saturday from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Organizers are promising a festive atmosphere for all ages, complete with amusement rides, midway games, and traditional carnival favorites.
To help mark the 50th anniversary, the parish is planning added entertainment throughout the week. A DJ will perform each night, and special character appearances are expected from Bluey, Mario, Mickey, and Minnie, giving families even more to enjoy during the celebration.
Pay One Price ride wristbands, valid for unlimited rides on the day of purchase, will be available on Wednesday and Thursday nights, May 6 and May 7. In addition, discounted pre-sale ride credits are now being offered through Magic Money at $30 for 60 credits, which the parish says reflects a 50 percent savings.
A longtime tradition in Morris Plains, the St. Virgil Parish Carnival has welcomed generations of families from across Morris County, including visitors from Parsippany, Denville, and Morristown. More information, ticket details, and updates are available by clicking here.
