The Mercer Island Preschool Association will present the in-person “CAR-nival,” reminiscent of its beloved annual Circus event, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on June 12 in the parking lot of the Mercer Island Community & Event Center.

Festive carnival games will be held trunk-side for a true “CAR-nival” along with a petting zoo, live entertainment, on-site food trucks and more. The event is geared toward kids ages 2 to 8.

Entertainers spaced throughout the day will include the Bubble Man, Alex Zerbe’s Zaniac Comedy Show, storytime with Island favorite Nancy Stewart, cover songs with Spence Hood, and pop-up classes from Creation Dance Studio and Mercer Island Martial Arts. Entry to the game zone is timed, but attendees can enjoy the entertainment and food trucks as long as they like.

Advance ticket purchase is highly recommended as the event may sell out. Purchase timed-entry tickets here: www.MIPACircus.com
