Baldwin Park To Celebrate 56th Anniversary With A Carnival

Lea en Español (Spanish)

The Baldwin Park Carnival will start on November 1st until 4th to celebrate the 56th anniversary of the City. This year, however, the music competition "Baldwin Park Idol" will not take place, due to cuts in the city budget .

The contest was one of the programs that were reduced or eliminated recently, along with the Halloween Festival, Breakfast with Santa Claus, Easter Egg Hunt and 4th of July fireworks.

According to a memorandum sent by Manuel Carrillo, director of the Department of Recreation and Community Services, to City Council members, this event leaves revenues to the city coffers.

Under a contract signed and approved in August, all proceeds from the food court (which are expected to generate up to $ 2,500) plus other revenues, could generate up to $ 14,500 for the city .

The Baldwin Park Carnival takes place every year at Morgan Park. Hours of operation will be 5 to 10 p.m. on Thursday, November 1,  5 to 11 p.m. on Friday November 2, and on Saturday and Sunday from noon until 11 p.m. and 10 p.m., respectively.

Tickets and day passes are available at  www.amusements.com. More details about promotions and pricing can be found in the PDF file attached to this article.
