2011 Carnation Festival
August 11 - 21, 2011
Honoring Alliance as the Carnation City, the Greater Alliance Carnation Festival is a week of parades, food and fun throughout the community.
A three-day RibFest kicks off the annual festival and is located outside the Carnation Mall. The festival is officially inaugurated Sunday with a kick-off parade from Park and Main Street to Glamorgan Castle. That evening, the Carnation Queen is crowned and her court is selected.
Continuing throughout "Festival Week" over 30 events take place, including Ice Cream Socials, a Hot Air Balloon Lift-Off, Golf Scramble, and many more. Carnation Days in the Park takes place in Silver Park and runs Wednesday through Saturday and features food, craft displays and free live entertainment.
The festival ends on Saturday with a day filled of exciting activities. The morning starts with the Grand Parade and to end the day, a spectacular Fireworks show is presented for the community.
