Celebrate First Friday at the carousel with the Pony Keepers, the volunteers who carve, paint and care for the carousel!
From 5pm, adults and kids alike can enjoy hot cocoa and paint their own wooden pony or a small ornament, a handmade holiday gift for someone you love (or yourself). Shop holiday gifts made by local carvers and artists all evening.
After rides end at 6pm, take a rare behind-the-scenes tour! With the carousel standing still, hear the stories behind the hand-painted art and the real community members pictured in it, then step into the center to see the machinery that makes the carousel go with Head Mechanic Gregor Banister.
Stay for one last spin at 7:45pm, adults welcome! All proceeds support A Carousel for Missoula.
