Spring in Edmonton is filled with things to do, and now you can add a new carnival coming to the downtown core to the list!

The Oilers Entertainment Group (OEG) has announced that the first annual ICE District Carnival is coming to the Fan Park from June 6 to 9.

The park will be bustling with over 25 rides and games, with the OEG touting the carnival as the “largest midway ever hosted in downtown Edmonton.”

Some of the rides on hand include the Speed, which is 118 feet tall and reaches 3.5 g’s at a top speed of 70 mph, and the Vertigo, a 100-foot swing tower.

On top of all the rides to check out, carnival games will also be set up with classics like shooting hoops, throwing darts, popping balloons, water gun racing and more.
