Twentynine Palms Rotary Carnival Breaks Records with Unforgettable Weekend of Fun

The City of Twentynine Palms is thrilled to announce that the 2025 Twentynine Palms Rotary Carnival was a record-breaking success, marking the most profitable weekend in the event’s history! With perfect weather, a festive atmosphere, and non-stop family fun, this year’s carnival shattered expectations and drew an incredible crowd from across the Morongo Basin and beyond.

Hosted at Luckie Park and presented in partnership with the Twentynine Palms Rotary Club, the carnival saw its highest-ever Saturday and Sunday sales, officially making it the most successful Rotary Carnival weekend in Twentynine Palms history in terms of revenue. The rides were packed, the energy was electric, and the memories made were unforgettable.

Over 20 local and out-of-town vendors brought their A-game, offering up delicious food, unique merchandise, and community services that added to the vibrant experience. From mouthwatering funnel cakes and savory street tacos to handcrafted art and interactive booths, there was truly something for everyone.

“This was a weekend that brought our community together in the best way possible,” said Scott Clinkscales, Community Events Coordinator for the City of Twentynine Palms. “The energy was amazing, the turnout exceeded expectations, and the smiles on everyone’s faces made it all worth it. You could feel the joy in the air—it was something special, and we’re already excited for next year.”

The City extends heartfelt thanks to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department for their consistent presence and support throughout the weekend, helping to ensure a safe and welcoming environment for all.

We’d also like to thank:

• The vendors who helped create a vibrant marketplace full of flavor and charm.
• The Twentynine Palms High School Baseball Team for their hard work keeping the park clean by picking up trash throughout the weekend.
