Carnique, 4:00pm
Since Brentwood is celebrating its 75th Anniversary this year, we will come back downtown in the evening for an additional special event – the Brentwood Lion’s Club Carnique, presented by the City of Brentwood. Carnique was a combination BBQ/Carnival hosted by the Brentwood Lions Club for 35 years beginning in the late 1950's. The event was held as a fundraiser for the Lion's Club that featured carnival games, BBQ dinner, dancing, music, swimming, and a fireworks display. As we celebrate Brentwood's 75th Anniversary, the Lions Club has generously allowed us to bring back this event to mark this important occasion. 

Carnival Games, 4:00-7:00pm: 18 classic carnival games for all ages will be located long Oak Street between First and Second. Tickets are $0.50 each, or an unlimited play wristband can be purchased for $20. In the spirit of the original Carnique event, which focused on fundraising, all proceeds from carnival game tickets sales will be donated to the non-profit groups volunteering to run the games. 

Food Vendors, 4:00-9:00pm: A wide assortment of food will be available for sale including BBQ, seafood, carnival favorites, desserts, and international flavors to represent Brentwood’s diverse backgrounds. You may even find some famous Brentwood corn! Portions of food sales will be donated to the Brentwood Lions Club as well as the Parks and Recreation Youth Scholarship Fund. Want to sit, eat, and enjoy mingling with other members of the community? Tables and chairs will be available along Oak Street in front of City Park. 

Community Center, 4:00-9:00pm: The Community Center will be open for those who want to cool off, learn about activities and facilities, buy a limited edition retro Brentwood shirt or hat, or check out the Hometown Highlights videos in the Main Hall, featuring some familiar Brentwood faces and lots of history from the last 75 years and beyond.
