The Merrick Chamber of Commerce proudly presents the 28th Annual Kids Fest at the Merrick Train Station, from Friday to Sunday, April 25-27. Newton Shows is always excited to provide the carnival portion of this beloved community event.

Every year, the Kids Fest carnival helps raise money to provide scholarships to students with special needs from the three high schools in the Bellmore-Merrick School District. The proceeds also help with the chamber’s networking meeting and lighting for their holiday festival.
“We’ve been working together forever,” said Ira Reiter, president of the Merrick Chamber of Commerce, and Chairman of Kids Fest. “Mike [Newton, the owner of Newton Shows] and I work really well together. He puts on some really great events.”
Kids Fest will feature a variety of new rides you must see to believe, as well as food and games. On Saturday and Sunday, there will be a Children’s Magic Illusion Show at 12 p.m., 2 p.m. and 4 p.m.
“We are looking forward to having a phenomenal spring season, with everyone coming out to enjoy the rides and get some fresh air,” Mr. Newton said.
