Last chance to enjoy the Chincoteague Firemen's Carnival

Jul 26, 2022

Don't miss your last opportunity to attend the Chincoteague Firemen's Carnival

which runs through this Saturday, July 30th.

 The Chincoteague Volunteer Firemen’s Carnival, an Island tradition dating back to 1924, will run through this Saturday July 30th..
After a string of disastrous fires, nearly 100 years ago, Chincoteague Island residents organized a volunteer fire company. The new fire company held a carnival during the annual Pony Penning (already an annual tradition) to raise funds for new equipment.

The tradition has grown over the years and continues to this day!

The Chincoteague Carnival has something for everyone! It’s a place where locals gather to catch up with one another and visitors get to experience Chincoteague's quaint, small town atmosphere. Kids will get excited about the rides and games, while adults enjoy the food and live entertainment. Its an opportunity to relax and take part in something reminiscent of a forgotten era, when life was simpler.

A large variety of food is available. Carnival pizza, clam and oyster fritters, pony fries, funnel cakes, and soft serve ice cream are among the most popular choices. You'll find rides and games for all ages. Live entertainment on the stage. Raffles, and BINGO too.

A celebratory fireworks show will close out the 22 season this Saturday July 30th..

All proceeds benefit the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company.

The carnival is open 7 pm – 11 pm this Tuesday-Saturday, July 26-30, 2022.
