About Us
The St. Charles Borromeo carnival is an annual event in early to mid June.
This carnival is one of the main revenue sources for the Saint Charles Church and the St. Charles School religious education programs. This is not only a wonderful place to have a good time playing games, winning prizes, riding rides, and eating great food, but this annual event is also a perfect time to serve those around you. You would be surprised that you can have as much (most likely even more) fun than you would attending the carnival. If you are interested in giving back, you can volunteer by clicking here, buy mega 50/50 tickets by clicking here or become a sponsor!
This year, we are proud to announce the new chairs, Angela and Chal Martin, and the theme, "Neon Carnival"
Directions
The Saint Charles Carnival will be held on the St. Charles grounds every night starting at 6 pm and continuing until 11 all carnival week.
St. Charles is located at 2500 Branch Pike (the intersection of Branch Pike and Pomona Road) in Cinnaminson, NJ. For your convenience, we placed a map on this page.
Please note: backpacks are prohibited on carnival grounds. This rule will be strictly enforced to ensure the safety of all patrons and volunteers.
New Ride Ticket Kiosks
Our carnival partner Amusement Rides of America has implemented kiosks that will be available throughout the grounds. The kiosks will accept credit cards, debit cards and even cash! Keep in mind cash purchases are exact change only as the kiosks do not dispense change. Tonight is Tuesday Unlimited Rides and the kiosks will dispense your band for $30 per person. There is a similar process for Kiddie Carnival ($20 per person) on Friday. The rest of the week the kiosks will give you a band with ride credits that can be used the entire week. Please note that the kiosks charge a small $2 fee per band.
Also keep in mind that once the carnival is over the ride credits disappear so budget accordingly. Advance ride tickets can be used at all rides in lieu of the ride credits on your band and still do not expire.
