Dalton Carnival

The Dalton Carnival returns June 3–7 for five days of rides, games, food, family fun, and fireworks. Presented by Fanelli Amusement Company and the Dalton Fair Association, this longtime community tradition brings families and friends together to celebrate the start of summer in Dalton.

Fireworks will take place Friday and Saturday at dusk. Wrist Band “Pay One Price” specials will be available throughout the event.

Location: Route 9 behind the American Legion

Discount tickets are available at the CRA. We look forward to welcoming the community back for another exciting year at the Dalton Carnival.

Reading Shakespeare – Much Ado About Nothing

Much Ado About Nothing is a sparkling romantic comedy centered on two contrasting couples: the witty, banter-driven Beatrice and Benedick, who claim to despise love, and the young, naive Hero and Claudio. Through schemes, eavesdropping, and false accusations, they fall in and out of love, all culminating in a joyous, chaotic resolution.

📍 Mill + Main (444 Main St, Dalton — enter/park on Mill St). Doors open 1:30 p.m.; please arrive by 1:50.
