Rotary Carnival
March 19-22, 2026
Luckie Park, Twentynine Palms, CA 92277
Four days of rides, games, food, and hometown fun at Luckie Park!
The Twentynine Palms Rotary Carnival is one of those can't-miss traditions—the kind of weekend where you meet up with neighbors, let the kids burn off energy, and end the night with something fried-on-a-stick (no judgment, it's carnival rules).
Hosted in partnership with the Twentynine Palms Rotary Club, the carnival brings together classic midway rides, family-friendly games, delicious vendors, and that big-lights, big-laughs energy that feels like a mini vacation—right here in town.
