Carowinds, situated on the enchanting North Carolina-South Carolina state line, is a treasure trove of exhilarating events and unique experiences for the entire family. Kick off the year with an exclusive preview night on March 8, 2024, for season passholders, and then mark your calendars for the grand Opening Day on March 9, offering nearly 60 rides, shows, and attractions.

Whether you’re a thrill-seeker diving into our collection of roller coasters or exploring the 14-acre kids’ area, Camp Snoopy, Carowinds has something for everyone. As spring break approaches from March 29 to April 7, the park transforms into a haven of family-friendly activities, including The Marvelous Mutts show and the return of Snoopy as the Easter Beagle.

Summer takes a splashy turn on May 25, 2024, with the opening of Carolina Harbor Waterpark, featuring water slides, wave pools, and more. Don’t miss the Memorial Day fireworks on May 27, lighting up the Carowinds skyline with patriotic fervor.

As Independence Day approaches, Carowinds presents a Fourth of July fireworks extravaganza on July 3, 4, and 5, with prime viewing spots in various park areas. The summer concludes with a Labor Day fireworks spectacle on September 2.

New in 2024, Carowinds combines fright and delight with a single ticket for SCarowinds, integrating it with the daytime Tricks and Treats activities from September 13 to October 27. October brings Tricks and Treats, a family-friendly Halloween event featuring spooky activities, live shows, a costume contest, and, of course, candy.

Embrace the holiday spirit at WinterFest, Carowinds’ immersive holiday event from November 15 to December 31. Enjoy dazzling light displays, ice skating, live entertainment, festive food, and the WinterFest Wonderland Parade, making it the Carolinas’ most memorable holiday celebration.

Anticipating the upcoming summer announcement, the calendar for 2024 raises eyebrows with a notable omission. Carowinds has not disclosed any plans for Grand Carnivale, the popular international food festival held in the past several summers. The absence of the “Spectacle of Color Parade” also hints at its likely exclusion from the 2024 lineup.

For a year-round adventure, consider the Gold Season Pass, granting access to Fury 325, Intimidator, SCarowinds, WinterFest, and more. Season passholders also enjoy perks like free parking and exclusive discounts, ensuring a truly magical experience at Carowinds throughout the entire 2024 season.
