SubscribeThe East Hanover Italian American Club Carnival is back at Lurker Park this spring, running nightly from Monday, April 28, 2026, through Saturday, May 2, 2026. Gates open at 6 pm and close at 10 pm each evening.
This year’s carnival has been moved up from its traditional June dates, giving families in East Hanover and across Morris County an earlier shot at the rides, games, food, and classic carnival atmosphere the event is known for. Campy’s Blue Star Amusements is handling the midway with 16 rides for all ages, including the Giant Wheel, Gravitron, Scrambler, Zipper, and kid-friendly options like the Carousel, Tea Cups, and Dragon Wagon.
Advance tickets are available online through Campy’s Amusements and the presale ends April 27, 2026, at midnight. Two presale options are available: 30 ride credits for $25 (an $8 savings) or a $40 unlimited ride wristband. The unlimited wristband is only available as an online presale and will not be sold at the event. Each ride takes between 4 and 6 credits.
Tickets are digital this year through the Magic Money app and on-site kiosks. After purchasing online, attendees receive a QR code by email to scan at any of Campy’s ticketing kiosks on the midway.
Riders must be at least 36 inches tall, and all guests under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who is 21 or older. Open-toed shoes are not permitted on rides.
Lurker Park is located at 631 Ridgedale Avenue in East Hanover, NJ. For full ride details, height requirements, and ticket purchases, visit campys.com/events/46
