Carousel of Light

Carousel of Light This beautiful hand-carved carousel was created by Falmouth artist Lance Shinkle in the early 1990s. Joyous music fills the air as the horses go 'round.

A beloved fixture of Falmouth Village, the carousel has delighted local residents and visitors to Falmouth since 2013. One of the few remaining carousels of its kind in the United States, kids and adults alike flock to this Cape Cod institution every summer. Brightly colored hand-carved horses spin around the cheery red and white striped top. Take a ride on Patriot, Butterscotch or everyone's favorite, Pearl.

We are gearing up for our second annual Carousel of Light fundraiser at the fabulous Cape Cod Winery on June 24th from 4-6pm. Thank you to all who have already donated gift cards, items, and baskets. We are so lucky to have this local support as our needs include purchase of mechanical parts, maintenance of the carousel and horses, insurance, and other.
We are delighted to showcase our local organizations and there will be a table with gift cards from our local supporters.

Beth has tickets at the Carousel or you can contact Eileen Sullivan at 508-864-4530. Any and all donations are also greatly appreciated for our silent auction. A Board member is creating a lobster basket and someone made a Girl Scout cookie basket paired with wine from Cape Cod Winery.

Thanks so much everyone!

To date our local supporters include- Ristorante Avellino, Island Queen, The Gilded Oyster, Flying Bridge, Little Anchor Boutique, Blast from the Past, Celebrations, Eight Cousins, Hooked
