Queen Of Heaven Carnival Returning To Western New York

The weather is warming up around Western New York, and that means soon we will see plenty of lawn fetes and carnivals pop up across the 716. One of the most popular carnivals has released its 2026 date and information.

Queen Of Heaven Carnival Coming Soon

I grew up in West Seneca, and for years, the Queen of Heaven carnival was a must-visit for my entire family. It was a sign that summer was here in the 716. This year, the carnival will be taking place July 10th, 11th, and 12th with activities for everyone in the family.

There will also be a special "Classic Cruz Night" on Thursday, July 9th, from 4 pm to 10 pm.

The carnival will have music each night, rides and games for the kids, plenty of food options, and a beer tent.

Admission is free and so is parking, but areas around the carnival fill up fast, so they are running a free shuttle service again this year. This year, you can park at East Senior High, and the shuttle will take you to and from the carnival.

Shuttles will run from Friday from 4 - 9:30 pm, Saturday from Noon to 9:30 pm, and Sunday from Noon until 8:30 pm. They will run continuously, so there should be no issues with getting to and from the carnival.

The weather seems to be bouncing back after a cold and wet start to spring, which is great news for all the carnivals and lawn fetes coming up across Western New York.
