There is an end to everything, to good things as well. Tonight we say goodbye to Grand Carnivale, an all-new international festival and parade that opened June 15. 

The final celebration of the rich traditions of China, Italy, France, India and Germany begins at 5 p.m. on International Street. The Spectacle of Color Parade starts at 8 p.m. in Coney Mall.

I've experienced many events at Kings Island since the park opened in 1972. Grand Carnivale quickly became one of my favorites. I'm going to miss it. 

Keep checking the Kings Island Blog for updates on entertainment experiences including Island Nights which begin next week.

A Walk in the Park at Kings Island: What am I doing this week?

What am I doing this week at Kings Island? Maybe I’ll write about all the fudge flavors that we offer, or maybe I’ll keep thinking of new scents for the nonexistent candle collection that Kings Island needs to get on board with. (Imagine “Cotton Candy on International Street” yum!) All jokes aside, that fudge idea doesn’t sound bad especially if I get to eat it all.

A Walk in the Park at Kings Island: Shopping Trip

Hello everyone! Although I’m a tad sun burnt, let me just say that Coasterstock was amazing! From meeting all of the coaster enthusiasts, the guest speakers, delicious food and going on the behind the scenes tours, especially the Flight of Fear tour, it was my first Coasterstock and I’m hoping it won’t be my last. I think my favorite part of all was seeing a group of people come together, who all have a passion for roller coasters and amusement parks in general and celebrating that passion.
