SOMERS, N.Y. - Get ready for the most anticipated week of the year!
From May 13 - 17, Fireman’s Field transforms into a vibrant celebration of community spirit and family fun. Whether you’re seeking the nostalgic thrill of the classic carousel, the challenge of massive inflatable obstacle courses, or the simple joy of local food trucks and live music, the Somers Lions Club Carnival has it all.
This isn’t just an event, it’s a legacy of service and local pride that has been bringing neighbors together since the 1960s. From its humble beginnings in Reis Park to its current status as a major regional attraction, the Somers Lions Club Charity Carnival exemplifies the power of community-driven growth.
It is more than just a seasonal event; it is a living tradition, built year by year through volunteer dedication, local support, and a shared commitment to service.
For more than half a century, the Somers Lions Club Charity Carnival has stood as a hallmark of community spirit in Somers,. What began in the 1960s as a modest component of a country fair in Reis Park has evolved into one of the town’s most anticipated annual events. This expansive, multi-day celebration blends entertainment, philanthropy, and local pride.
In its earliest days, the carnival was simple in scope. Residents gathered for a traditional country fair experience, games, homemade food, and small attractions, organized by a dedicated group of Lions Club members committed to serving their community. The mission was clear from the beginning: bring people together while raising funds to support local charitable efforts. That mission has never changed, even as the event itself has grown dramatically.
Five Days of Unforgettable Fun
What started as a modest country fair in Reis Park has evolved into a powerhouse five-day
festival. Today, the carnival draws families from across the region to enjoy classic and modern rides from timeless favorites to high-energy interactive games, live performances and kids' activities all week, and a curated lineup of food trucks along with traditional carnival fare.
