Hamilton Family Carnival

Experience a weekend of laughter, colour and community at the Hamilton Family Carnival, held at the Hamilton Showgrounds. This much-loved event is a chance for families, friends and visitors to come together and enjoy the vibrant traditions that have used to be part of Hamilton’s show weekend.

Across the grounds, you will find a variety of amusement rides to suit all ages – from gentle attractions for little ones, to high-energy rides for teens and families eager for a thrill.

The aroma of show food fills the air, with vendors serving favourites like fairy floss, popcorn and fresh hot jam donuts.

The Hamilton Family Carnival is all about celebrating local community spirit, creating happy memories and offering affordable fun for everyone. Bring the whole family for a weekend full of rides, games, laughter and the simple joys of a shared community tradition.
