WEST SENECA, N.Y. (WKBW) — The Queen of Heaven Carnival is back in West Seneca, bringing families and neighbors together for a weekend of fun, food and entertainment. With summer in full swing, this four-day event has something for everyone.
"The most exciting thing is seeing everyone come together as a community," said Emily Melski, Queen of Heaven General Chairperson. "People will plan their trips home around here. They have reunions out here in the beer tent. They meet their family and friends again or enjoy themselves for a fun weekend."
You can expect new rides, food, entertainment and the classic beer tent.
"Free entertainment under the beer tent all weekend," Melski said. "A lot for people to experience for whatever they're looking for."
Jim's Concessions has been operating since 2011, but has some new menu items.
"We got that unique food that people want," owner and operator James Staub said. "We got a deep-fried taco, which is seen on Carnival Eats on the Food Network."
The Queen of Heaven Carnival has become an annual tradition for some families, while for others, it's a first.
"Me and her go to the carnival every year for something to do," Olive said. "I'm probably going on a lot of rides."
"Our mom brought us here because she wanted us to have the best time of our lives," Christian said.
"I like to support the school and everything," Brooklyn said. "It's a good atmosphere to be around everyone who enjoys the same things as you."
