Does anybody know the names and dates of entertainment for the Carnival?

The Eureka Carnival starts on Monday, July 14th and ends on Sat., July 19th. The entertainment is as follows:

Monday-Long Ryde
Tuesday-Leghorn
Wednesday-Set Free
Thursday-One Lane Bridge
Friday-Shiloh Ridge
Saturday-Borderline

Other highlights is our Ride All Night for one price will be Monday thru Thursday. The price at this time looks to be $15.00. There will be plenty of good food and games for all ages. Tickets for the rides will be sold starting around 6:45-7:00PM Monday-Friday and on Sat. they will be sold just after the parade ends. The parade will be held rain or shine on Sat., July 19th at 4:30PM starting at the fire station, however we will be lining up the parade on East Scarborough Fare. There will be a shuttle bus operating to alleviate some of the traffic congestion. If you have any further questions please PM me or you can call me at 324-6521. On behalf of EUREKA I want to THANK YOU for your continued support!

Thank You for the info on the carnival.  We look forward to it every year, esp. the 5 yr old grandson.  The $15.00 for the wrist band is the same as the Shrewsbury Carnvial wrist bands.

Would it possible to post what type of music each band plays?  Or, their websites if available?  I think Shiloh Ridge is country but, not sure about the others.

Thanks!

I’m just curious, do the bands get paid for performing?

Yes, I believe so.

Do we know approximately how much?

I’m sure the Chief or someone else involved with Eureka knows, you should ask them Bands rarely play for free, and most of these bands do carnival/festival type circuits all summer......for many of them it’s a full time job, not a weekend band job

SET FREE is BLUE GRASS....................So is SHILOH RIDGE................ Don’t know about the other ones.

We do pay for the bands. They range in price from $400-$900. Thanks Chris for posting the band info.

Thanks Chief!
