Fête Paradiso - July 13-September 29!

via ixdoxdeclare

Fête Paradiso opened last Saturday, but still something worth checking out if you are a fan of old timey things that are hardier than the plastic-made rides of today.

Governor's Island is proud to host several vintage carnival rides and carousel straight from France.  Not only are they relics of 19th and 20th century but still functional! Admission is free for the festival and for a measly $3 you can ride into the past!

From July 13 - September 29 every weekend, you'll be able to eat and drink at their pop-up beer garden that features French carnival food, try your hand at mid-century games, and ride lots of different carousels.

Check out their Twitter, Instagram and Facebook page to peak your interest and any updates.
