Grand Carnivale, a celebration of world culture, debuts at Kings Dominion and Kings Island June 15-July 7, 2019. The event then transfers to Dorney Park July 20-August 11 and Worlds of Fun July 13-August 4. The international street festival will celebrate music and food from China, France, Germany, India and Italy.
