CarnEVIL is a new Halloween festival on 18 acres in downtown Columbia. During 14 select nights Merriweather Park at Symphony Woods comes alive with horrifying mutant sideshow freaks, demented clowns, and escaped circus animals, all in the name of raising money for first responders and disaster preparedness.

Come experience the haunted woods and a full Halloween festival, complete with a VIP tent, menacing midway, fair food, cocktails, mocktails, musical entertainment, and circus performers.

Event may be too intense for young children and is not recommended for children under age 10. First two shows each night are made kid-friendly for 10 -12-year-olds. No costumes or masks allowed.
