The city of Jemison will hold a carnival Thursday, April 5 through Saturday, April 7 in Jemison City Park.

Proceeds from the carnival will support Jemison’s next citywide festival, previously called MayFest, which will be postponed this year for lack of adequate funding.

“We know there is not a lot of entertainment in our little town,” said Jemison resident Rex Bittle, who volunteers with the city. “We’re just hoping everyone will come out and have some fun.”

Trinity Amusements of Odenville will provide the carnival rides this year.

Armbands are $15 per day for unlimited access to rides. Visitors must buy new armbands each day.

The carnival will open at 5 p.m. Thursday and Friday and at noon Saturday.

Concessions will be available every day.
