What is the Caygeon Carnival?
The Caygeon Carnival was developed to bring families and communities together in the effort to re-create an old-fashioned fair. The Caygeon Carnival highlights the historical atmosphere of Kawartha Settlers' Village while engaging the public in 'old-time' pastimes and activities that paint the days of old with fond memories.
Who can come to Caygeon Carnival?
The Caygeon Carnival is open to the young and young at heart! There will be something for everyone to experience during the day whether it is guessing the weight of the pig, walking down memory lane, learning how to walk on stilts, enjoying the kid's talent show or just chatting with a neighbor over ice cream, everyone will have a fantastic day!
