Beginning tomorrow and running through the end of September, Fête Paradiso, the world’s first traveling festival of vintage European carousels and carnival rides, is making it’s North American debut on New York City’s historic Governors Island. The diverse collection of late 19th and early 20th century attractions will be open every weekend from 10:30am to 6:30pm, with free admission and $3 rides. Free ferries to the event will run from the Manhattan Battery Maritime Building and from Brooklyn’s Pier 6.

The amazing rides and attractions include a rare 19th century bicycle carousel, flying swings, a bumper car pavilion from 1900 and classic carnival games. Visitors will also find period musical entertainment, side show performances and French carnival food.

Lovingly reconstructed by French artisans from Rennes, the Fête Paradiso  is made possible by Regis Masclet and Francis Straub who own the collection.
