Making Memories Day Carnival

Every June, On Angels’ Wings hosts the Making Memories Day carnival, a community event free for OAW recipients. It features carnival games by local businesses, a live DJ with dance-karaoke, princesses and superheroes, bounce houses, carnival snacks, and more, with a fun new theme each year. The day starts with early access for OAW recipients and a special butterfly release in honor of children who are still fighting and those who have passed. A costume contest with prizes will be held at 3:00 p.m. with categories for all ages.

OAW Families: You are invited to an exclusive pre-carnival at 12:30 p.m. for health safety concerns, with the butterfly release at 1:15 p.m. Recipients attend for free and are welcome to stay when the event opens to the public from 1:30-4:00 p.m.
