Carroll traditions
Carnivals. Fire company carnivals are synonymous with
summer in Carroll County. The food, the rides, the games, the
camaraderie. Two years after all 11 traditional fire company
fundraising carnivals were canceled, all of them have returned.
Gamber Fire Company Carnival got the season started in May.
Harney, Sykesville-Freedom, Taneytown, Union Bridge, New
Windsor were scheduled to hold their carnival, as per usual,
in June. Manchester, Winfield, Reese all have dates set in July.
Check https://carrollcountytourism.org/carnivals/ for details.
Mount Airy Fire Company Carnival begins Aug. 1 through Aug.
6. Finally, the Hampstead Volunteer Fire Company Carnival is
set for Aug. 8-13, pretty much its typical time frame.
