Lucky for you, all ages loves carnival food. For sweets, choose classic picks like candy apples. funnel cakes and donuts. Also offer hot dogs, nachos and pretzels. Don’t forget the cotton candy! Keep it simple for the kids and make it fancier for the adults with nuts on the candy apples, decadent hot dogs and over-the-top nachos. For drinks, serve lemonade (spiked for the grown-ups) and classic coca-cola in bottles (and served with rum for the 21+ crowd) out of our Vintage Bathtub.
Funk up the space with fun florals. Bring in pops of color with butterscotch and fuchsia dahlias and keep it carnival friendly with simple flowers like daisies. Add lots of greenery and make it messy! Nothing is too prim and proper at the fair. Display them in our Vintage Tins to get the olde time carnival feel.
