The Odenton carnival is back. The Memorial Day celebration will return for the first time since 2019. Here's when you can enjoy the rides.
ODENTON, MD — The Odenton Volunteer Fire Company carnival will return later this month.
This will be the town's first carnival since 2019. The fire station canceled the event in 2020 and 2021 during the thick of the coronavirus pandemic.
The carnival will run from Tuesday, May 24 through Memorial Day, which is on Monday, May 30. The fair will set up shop in the fire company's parking lot, located at 1425 Annapolis Road.
