Greater Alliance Carnation Festival

Honoring Alliance as the Carnation City, the Greater Alliance Carnation Festival is a festival full of parades, food and fun throughout the community. Throughout the festival week(s), there are more than 30 fun-filled events. There is truly an event for everyone!

Schedule:

9 a.m. - 8 p.m - Used Book Sale
Location: The Commons ​405 S. Linden Ave

6:00 pm - Carnation Trail Run
After years of the Carnation Triathlon (now retired), the Carnation Trail Run is an opportunity for those who like to run and want a unique view of the city. The event begins and ends at First Christian Church.

Scavenger Hunt: Where is Levi?
Each day of our festival, we will post a photo of Levi hiding in a new location around town.
We'll create an air of mystery by sharing a photo of Levi with limited scenery, leaving our community members guessing Levi’s whereabouts.
Once a seeker has successfully tracked down Levi at the designated spot, they'll be greeted with a triumphant "You Found Levi!" sign, complete with a QR code. Scanning this code will not only confirm their victory but enter them into our daily prize drawing and grand prize drawing.
Each day, one lucky winner will score a gift card to a local restaurant or store, supporting our community businesses and spreading the festival spirit far and wide. One grand prize drawing will take place at the end of the festival from the combined entries throughout the week.
