Malvern Fire Company Carnival
The annual Malvern Carnival is here!
The Malvern Fire Company is hosting an enormous carnival at the Monument Memorial Grounds. There’s more than enough space on the grass to place up about a dozen of different rides and still have room for game stalls! A giant ferris-wheel towers over all, punctuating the very temporary skyline of flickering colored lights. It’s like a portable Disney World!
Since people from all over the area come to have fun, I, living down the street, couldn’t miss it if I tried. We went as a family, trying not to get lost in the crowd that accompanies every attraction.
Our family’s favorite was definitely a ride called “Scooter”, which is basically bumper cars enclosed in a large ring-type cage. A large cage, but too small to fit us all! Five aggressive drivers coming together doesn’t ever bode well, especially if they’re family. The Ferris Wheel had a surprising trait as well – we saw more close friends and neighbors while riding it than we did while simply walking around!
My youngest was particularly interested in the machine-gun “shoot the star” game, probably because the reward was an enormous black leopard. Everyone took their turn shooting, but we did not manage to wipe out the red star completely.
The best part always comes at the end, and so it did this time as well – fireworks flew up to mark the final day of the carnival. Eventually, we had to cross the street to get away from the crowd and have a better view. I took some pictures to save later, but, I have to admit, the real thing looked so much better!
See you on another Malvern Fair next year.
Great timing with fireworks photos!
Oh fun! My kids love it when the carnival comes to town over July 4th! We go every year.
What a blast (pardon the pun)! That looks like such a festive set up.
I love fairs and carnivals. This one looks spectacular.
I was gonna ask if this was Malvern, OH, but I see it is PA 🙂 I’m about 45 min from the OH one lol. This looks like a fun carnival! I love the fireworks that look like showers. So pretty!
What a great carnival. All the lights look pretty in the dark. It’s so cool that they even had fireworks.
Fair season is just about underway where I live and we always make a point to visit as many as we can. It’s great family fun!
Carnivals are always fun for everyone in the family. And so many treats to try too like funnel cakes yum!
Those are really great, inviting pictures! Wow! I haven’t been to a fair in years! This looks fun!
What a fun carnival! The fireworks photos look spectacular!
This looks like so much fun. We spent the 4th of July at the park for fireworks. It was awesome. I love your firework photos. I captured some but haven’t done anything with them.
This looks beautiful. We do love Carnivals & it is always great when you have kids & family around to cherish those moments. The pictures are really awesome & the fireworks in particular is absolutely gorgeous.

Lovely photos! 🙂 It’s been awhile since we last went to an amusement park.

This sounds like so muck fun. I love a carnival at night with all the gorgeous lights and than to top it off with fire works is totally amazing. Thanks for sharing.
