The Owensboro Spring Carnival has become a long-standing local tradition. It has returned to the former Towne Square Mall parking lot, having opened Friday evening and running through April 19, offering a wide array of family fun. 

Hosted by Casey’s Rides Inc., a Kentucky-based carnival operator since 1953, the event features a variety of rides, games, and classic fair food. Operating hours are 5 to 10 p.m. on weekdays and noon to 10 p.m. on weekends.

Admission options include armbands for unlimited rides at $25, available during designated time slots: 5 to 10 p.m. on weekdays, and two sessions on weekends — noon to 5 p.m. and 5 to 10 p.m. Individual ride tickets are also available at $1.50 each, with bundle options of 8 tickets for $10 and 20 tickets for $20.

The carnival offers something for all ages, from kiddie rides like Boats and Trains and Disney Cars to thrill rides such as Ali Baba and the Pirate Ship. Height requirements vary by ride.
