What is Carousel Day?

Carousel Day celebrates the timeless magic of the carousel, one of the oldest and most beloved amusement rides in history. The modern carousel traces its origins to 17th-century Europe, evolving from equestrian training devices into the ornate spinning rides adorned with hand-carved horses and fantasy animals we know today. On July 25, 1871, the first US patent for a steam-powered carousel was granted, making this date its official anniversary. Carousels continue to delight riders of all ages at amusement parks, boardwalks, and town squares around the world.
