Looks like the The AIA Great European Carnival has rolled into town once again! Head down to the Central Harbourfront before the holidays and you’ll be thrown right into all the fun.

Head to the seaside to enjoy the myriad food vendors and adrenaline-pumping rides, quirky games and live concerts – there’s even a real ice rink! The huge fair promises to keep the carnival festivities going through February, so there’s plenty of time to master the deceivingly difficult carnival games and finally win one of those adorable stuffed toys.

It’s all going down next to the Udderbelly art festival, featuring Violet the upside purple cow, so you can catch a performance while you’re there.

December 17-February 21, 2016. Central Harbourfront, Central. Tickets from $133 online or at the door.
