The city's Parks and Recreation Department said the event is super special for them as part of the proceeds go back to them for youth scholarships.
"Recreation really is one of the foundations for leadership, the social-emotional skills that you learn when you sit on a time and have to work together. You build relationships, you build friendships. It really is just a wonderful entry point for a lot of our kids in this community," said City of Wyoming's Director of Parks and Recreation Krashawn Martin.
Kids are given the opportunity to get involved in Taekwondo, soccer, dance, gymnastics and even art classes.
"Anyone that, of any income level and background is able to have access to all of our recreation programs, so if you want to try dance, soccer, gymnastics, we are really that entry point for folks in the community, and we want every single child in Wyoming to be able to experience those programs," said Martin.
The carnival kicks off Friday, April 28th and runs thru May 7th.
