Grand Carnivale

Grand Carnivale is a seasonal event that occurs during the night in all of July and early August at Kings Island. King Carl Nivale, Queen Cara Nivale and their Royal Court are your hosts on a worldwide expedition. Visit AMAZING locales far and wide with authentic entertainment, delicious international cuisine, lively games, unique crafts and traditions from nations spanning the globe. Take in the extravagant sights and sounds of our nighttime Spectacle of Color Parade, a glittering sensory spectacular of lavish floats, interactive street performers and pulsing rhythms. As the parade concludes, thunderous music builds to a crescendo and our King and Queen kick off a high-energy celebration filled with animated entertainers, spirited dancing, scrumptious eats and so much more.

This event started in 2019. It was cancelled in 2020 due to COVID-19. It returned in 2021. It will not happen in 2022 due to the 50th anniversary celebration. It will be back in 2023.
