Carnival

Once again, Windy City Amusements will be providing the carnival rides for the community festival. While the Oswegoland Park District with other village entities makes sure all rides go through a formal amusement ride inspection, Windy City determines price, carnival staffing, and ride selection. We are pleased to have the carnival back at PrairieFest Park. Windy City Amusements has been our PrairieFest carnival for over 30 years!

Before the PrairieFest Carnival opens, we invite our families who require special accommodations to join us at the PrairieFest ThrillABLE Inclusive Carnival sponsored by Graceful Therapy on Thursday, June 12, 2025 from 3:00 – 5:00pm. The carnival will offer a modified experience with no lights or sounds slower speeds where we can. All rides will be a part of ThrillABLE with the exception of the Skyrider Swings.
