GOOD Family Fun: Don’t Miss the Return of the Miller-Driscoll Carnival
The Miller-Driscoll Spring Carnival is back this weekend, promising a “better than ever” experience and plenty of fun for families across Wilton. The three-day event runs Friday, May 1 from 6-10 p.m., Saturday, May 2 from 12-10 p.m., and Sunday, May 3 from 11 a.m.-5 p.m., with activities and entertainment rotating throughout the weekend.
Organized by the Miller-Driscoll PTA, the carnival is the school’s largest fundraiser of the year, bringing together the community for a lively mix of rides, games and hands-on attractions. New ride and game vendors are part of this year’s lineup, along with exciting new additions (some activities require additional charge):
- Toddler Town (Sat. & Sun., weather dependent) — for ages 6 and under, with soft play, a giant ball pit, slide and an inflatable race track; plus story time and hands-on sensory stations
- Makers Town (Sat. & Sun.) — a hands-on corner where creativity and curiosity come to life. Explore a variety of interactive tents, with a mix of art, science and imagination that invites everyone to create, play and discover something new. (Flower market, STEM activities, woodworking, textiles, and Beauty Tent)
- Euro Bungee — Experience the thrill of bungee jumping without the risks, harnessed onto gravity defying bungee cords and jumping over two stories high
Food is also a big draw, with a wide range of local vendors participating across the weekend. Options include everything from pizza and falafel to lobster rolls, tacos, sweet treats and soft serve, with vendors rotating to keep things fresh for repeat visitors.
Sunday kicks off with a designated sensory hour from 11 a.m.-12 p.m., offering a quieter, more accessible experience for families with younger children or sensory sensitivities.
