The Ford City Renaissance Community Partnership, Inc., (FCRCP) Family Funfest Carnival with rides, live entertainment, food and giveaways starts Tuesday and runs through Saturday in the borough.
FCRCP Chairman Paul Klukan said this is the eighth year for the event, which is held at the corner of Third Avenue & Joe Cippel Way (near Clock Tower) & Beyond, in the municipality.
Along with carnival games and food trucks, guests can look forward to live music from:
Yachtness Monster (soft rock favorites 70’s / early 80’s) at 7 p.m. Tuesday;
Saddle Up (country rock) at 7 p.m. Wednesday;
Journey Thru The Ages (greatest music of Journey) at 7 p.m. Thursday;
American Pie (oldies 50’s, 60’s and 70’s).
Once again, the event will also feature, “one of the largest ferris wheels in the state,” according to Klukan.
There will also be a bike give away, and children can earn five tickets every night they come.
“Just the look on the children’s faces ... it’s always so precious,” Klukan said previously.
