The Marshall County Blueberry Festival is right around the corner, and if you love the thrill of the carnival midway, today is the day to lock in your rides. Festival Mega-Passes officially go on sale today, giving carnival enthusiasts the chance to ride all weekend long for one flat price.

The all-you-can-ride Carnival MegaPass costs $80 and is valid for unlimited rides during all scheduled operating hours for the entire festival — Thursday, September 3rd through Monday, September 7th. That is five full days of Ferris wheels, Tilt-A-Whirls, and everything in between, with no limits on how many times you climb back in line.

MegaPass holders can ride any ride in the carnival during the following hours: Thursday, September 3rd and Friday, September 4th from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday, September 5th and Sunday, September 6th from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Monday, September 7th from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The pass is non-transferable and is only valid for the person whose picture appears on it, so no sharing with your friends — everyone needs their own ticket to ride.

Here's the catch: MegaPasses are pre-sale only and cannot be purchased at the park. Sales close at midnight on September 2nd, the night before the festival kicks off. Once they are gone, they are gone. Passes are non-refundable and non-replaceable if lost or stolen, so hang onto them like they are golden tickets.

If you are not quite ready to commit to five days of carnival madness, there is another option. The Pay One Price wristband — known around the festival as the POP — gives you unlimited rides for a single day. POP wristbands cost $25 if purchased online or $30 at the park. POPs are valid for unlimited rides on any one festival day, with Monday hours running 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Like the MegaPass, POPs are also pre-sale only and cannot be purchased at the park.

Both types of passes are available through the Blueberry Festival office before the festival and online through the Marshall County Blueberry Festival website.

What would a festival be without the fun of a great carnival? North American Medway provides the Blueberry Festival with the very best in "Iron in the Sky" — thrilling rides for all ages that make the carnival a true family activity. Whether you are a daredevil who lives for the biggest ride in the park or a parent who just wants to see your kids smile on the carousel, the carnival runs all weekend long.

So round up the family, grab your passes, and get ready for five days of spins, drops, laughs, and memories at the 2026 Marshall County Blueberry Festival. But do not wait — the clock is ticking and midnight on September 2nd will be here before you know it.
