Carnival
Big M Amusements has provided a wide collection of carnival rides for the Morton Pumpkin Festival since 1967. The carnival features rides for both preschoolers and older children and adults including a super slide, ferris wheel, rocking boat, spinning pumpkins, roller coaster, train, octopus, bumper cars, and so much more!
Advanced-sale carnival tickets are available beginning September 1st through Noon on September 15th at Ackerman Farms, Morton Kroger, Eli's, Lennie's Meat Market, Grimm's Inc., Lulu's, and the Chamber. Ten tickets can be purchased for $18. These tickets are good ONLY ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT. If you do have tickets leftover, they can be saved and used next year on Wednesday & Thursday night, or they will be honored this year on Friday and Saturday at double the amount per ride (if the ride requires 2 tickets, you will need to give them 4 of the advanced tickets).
During the festival, a sheet of ten tickets is $20 or $2.50 each and can be purchased at ticket booths on the festival grounds.
