Orange Lions Club
Our first carnival was held in 1939.
In 2026 we will hold our 85th carnival.
Shouldn't that be 86 carnivals?
Not exactly. Since 1939, the carnival has only been canceled 3 times! The first time was due to WWII. The second time was due to Hurricane Harvey. The most recent cancellation was due to COVID.
Finally. early on in the carnival's life one year saw two carnivals!
1939-2026=87 years
87
-3 (cancellations)
+1 (mutli-carnival year)
Equals 85 carnivals!
Check back soon for additional updates!
