Plenty of parking is available in the Bowling Alley lot or across the street in the Safeway parking lot. Please do not park at The Parliaments or other shopping centers as that is private property and towing will be enforced.

Originally, the carnival was held on the lot that is now for many years until Giant was built. The carnival then moved to the lot that became and co-sponsored by the Annandale Little League for many decades when the event was kicked off by the Little League Parade in May of each year. The took responsibility for the carnival about a decade ago.

There are third and fourth generation families now enjoying the fun.
