Carnival Astoria Park: Five Days of Fun

Dreamland Amusements and NYC Parks have scheduled the Astoria Park Carnival for June 3 through June 7 at Astoria Park in Queens, with free admission and paid ride tickets. The event is set for the corner of Hoyt Avenue North and 19th Street, under the RFK Bridge, according to listings published by both organizers. The carnival is billed as a five-day run of rides, games and food on the Astoria waterfront. ForumDaily’s June events guide also lists the carnival in the same date window. ### Where exactly is the carnival taking place? Astoria Park is the listed site, with Dreamland Amusements giving the address as the corner of Hoyt Avenue North and 19th Street, Astoria, NY 11102. NYC Parks uses the same park location in its event calendar. The site places the midway under the RFK Bridge and near the East River. Several event listings describe the setting as a waterfront location with skyline views, but the official details from NYC Parks and Dreamland focus on the park entrance area and midway setup. ### When can people go each day? Wednesday, June 3, and Thursday, June 4, are scheduled for 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., according to Dreamland Amusements and the NYC Parks calendar. Friday, June 5, is listed from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday, June 6, is scheduled from noon to 11:59 p.m., Dreamland says. Sunday, June 7, is listed from noon to 11 p.m. NYC Parks says the event repeats daily through June 7, starting with the June 3 opening. ### How much does it cost to get in and ride? NYC Parks says admission is free, but rides require tickets. The city’s event page lists single tickets at $1.50 each and says rides require at least two tickets. Dreamland Amusements lists the same base ticket price and says 20 tickets cost $32, with a $30 cash discount price. The operator also lists a 50-ticket option for $62, including one free ride, with a $60 cash discount. ### What will be there besides rides? Dreamland Amusements says the carnival will include games and food along with rides. Its event flyer describes “deep-fried treats, sweets and other tantalizing carnival eats,” while NYC Parks summarizes the offering as “rides, games, and food.” ForumDaily’s events roundup says visitors can expect a five-day carnival at Astoria Park as part of New York’s June activity calendar. Secret NYC, in a separate listing, says the event will include live entertainment, though the official NYC Parks and Dreamland listings emphasize the midway, food and ride operations rather than publishing a separate performance schedule. ### Are there any rules or logistics to know before going? Dreamland Amusements says times are subject to change by management. The operator also posts a policy of no unaccompanied minors. NYC Parks says parking is extremely limited. For visitors planning around the busiest periods, the longest listed operating windows are Saturday and Sunday, when the carnival opens at noon and runs into the evening. ### Where can people check details before heading over? NYC Parks has posted the event on its online calendar for Astoria Park, and Dreamland Amusements has published a dedicated event page and flyer with hours, ticket prices and policies. ForumDaily includes the carnival in its June 2026 New York events guide. Wednesday, June 3, is the opening day, with the first session scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. at Astoria Park. Organizers’ listings say the carnival will then continue through Sunday, June 7.
