Carnival Fun Returns to Byron This Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day weekend in Northern Illinois doesn’t have to mean just backyard grilling and trying to remember where you packed the sunscreen. In Byron, it’s carnival time, and it comes with all the sights, smells, and sounds you've been waiting for all winter!

Memorial Day Weekend Plans

Can you believe the calendar is already flipping to May?!

In just a few weeks kids will be on summer break, and we need to start making plans... starting with Memorial Day weekend.

Memorial Day weekend at my house typically involves a lot of outdoor work mixed with some outdoor fun. We open our pool, plant tons of flowers, tend to our garden, and it ends with the annual Memorial Day Parade in Pecatonica.

Obviously, no Memorial Day weekend is complete without grilling some meats, but you know what else we need to add to this year's plans? Going to the Kick Off To Summer Carnival in Byron!

Byron's Kick Off to Summer Carnival

Each year, the Byron Firefighters Association helps welcome summer in style by hosting a carnival on the Byron Fire Department grounds, and trust me when I say your family won't want to miss it.

You know that craving you've had for a deep fried Oreo or funnel cake? Maybe you can't wait to spin around on rides until you feel like you're going to toss your cookies? Byron's Kick Off to Summer Carnival has all of that and more!

You know what makes Byron’s Kick Off to Summer Carnival really stand out? It isn’t just the rides or the food, it’s the purpose behind it. Proceeds from the event help support community programs, turning a fun weekend out into something that genuinely gives back.
