Who can forget the excitement and laughter associated with riding the rides at a carnival? The Morton Pumpkin Festival features one of the best carnivals you will find anywhere, courtesy of Big M Amusements, the carnival and midway provider for this event for over 40 years! Big M brings a wide variety of rides, games and concessions that delight both the young and the young at heart.

There are thrill rides for the more adventurous souls and milder versions for younger children and those who just prefer a little less of an adrenaline rush! Along the midway, there are fun games with lots of prizes and delicious treats like elephant ears, funnel cakes, corn dogs and lemon shake-ups.

The Morton Pumpkin Festival carnival is the key attraction for many of the thousands of families who visit us year after year. It celebrates all things pumpkin to commemorate the start of the harvest season.
