The Carver Carnival is on Saturday, April 25, 2026 from 10am-3pm. The Carnival will be held outdoors at Carver Elementary, 3100 Huntington Drive, San Marino, California.

The Carver Carnival supports the students of K.L. Carver Elementary by funding music, dance, field trips, STEM curriculum, the library, health and safety programs, and much more.

It’s also a fun, community-building event that creates lasting memories for students and families while helping sustain Carver’s outstanding educational environment, recognized as both a California Distinguished School and a National Blue Ribbon Award recipient.

*All proceeds benefit K.L. Carver Elementary School.

Enjoy an afternoon filled with a variety of food, drinks, carnival games, inflatables, activity booths, temporary tattoos, hair color stations, silly string, and confetti eggs.

The celebration will also feature grade-level dance performances and the always-entertaining Carver Talent Show.

For the first time this year, we are excited to introduce The “Happy Trash” art installation competition, showcasing creative projects built from recycled & upcycled materials. More information & to sign up can be found at
